1| Please don't post in all CAPS! It's a sign of you trying to loudly voice your opinion. We understand you're frustrated but this doesn't generate assistance.
2| Have you made sure your chipset and USB drivers are up to date?
3| Are you on the latest BIOS update for your motherboard?
4| You didn't mention your full system's specs.
5| Have you ruled out that the drive is bad by plugging it into another USB port?
6| Repeat step #5 but on a different computer.
6| If you can hear a click from the drive, it's possible that the drive has given up the ghost.
