Hi everyone, I just bought a new WD Elements 1TB External Drive on Monday, the 15th of September, 2014. It isn't even a week old yet. It is recognized by my office Compaq laptop running a windows vista OS but it is not seen in my home desktop Dell Pentium 4 also running a Vista OS. I tried to plug it in last night at home and it just wouldn't be seen in My Computer. It is right there in the Device Manager though. I brought it to the office this morning and it still shows perfectly in my office compaq laptop. Please I need help to make it work in my home desktop. Thank you.

Yes it does. It is recognized in the Device Manager and it tells me the drivers are up to date.
