Ok, so i have a Western Digital external USB2.0/Firewire combo drive...It has a bunch of music files on it. It worked fine for about 2 weeks then all of a sudden this weekend it stopped being recognized so I got a new firewire/usb combo card (my old one was just usb 2.0) and tried it out on the firewire connection. It was recognized and seemed to work okay. Now all of a sudden, it won't be recognized. Under the device manager, it is recognized as one of the Hard Drives, but I can not see it in the Windows Explorer. If i unplug it, and plug it back in, the drive stutters internally and then simply cools down. Windows still recognizes it in the Device Manager but not Explorer. Any thoughts? P4 2.0 ghz, 512 Ram, Win XP Home.
thanks
