Hi,

I just reinstalled my old Laptop (Dell 9100) With XP Pro SP3 And updated all the drivers etc etc. But for some strange reason, it's not recongnizing my external Sata hard drive. I plug it into the USB port, it says "Mass Storage Detected" and it says somthing like "Hardware ready to be used" but it does not appear in My Computer...

Any advice?
