External drive & Vista
There are probably earlier threads about this, but I couldn't locate them quickly, so risking to be redundant with the question but ..
.. my daughter bought herself a LaCie 500gig harddrive for unlimited movie looking. The gadget works fine with XP, but Vista ignores it completely. Any tips? |

Ignores it completely? As in, there's no system response like an error beep or anything when you plug the USB cable in?

Right,m no response whatsoever, that is the drive starts to make more noise but Vista is completely silent.

Was it on the same computer but different OS you plugged the drive in, or a different computer? Maybe the USB port is faulty?

Tried all the USB ports as well also another Vista laptop, no joy. The hard disk has it's own power source, so that can't be the problem either.
