You shouldn't need drivers for a hdd, windows should install them automatically if it is able to communicate with the drive.

In device manager is there a yellow /!\ next to the device?

Could be anything from a bad cable to bad chipset drivers.

Try this:

First, please disconnect all USB devices and then perform the following steps:

1. Click "Start" button, type “devmgmt.msc” (without quotes) in the “Search” bar and press "Enter". Click “Continue” if necessary.

2. In Device Manager, double click to expand "Universal Serial Bus controllers", right click on the Host Controller, click "Uninstall" and click "OK".

3. Repeat the step 2 to uninstall all items under "Universal Serial Bus controllers".

Then, restart your computer and Windows 7 will reinstall all USB controllers automatically.

it dident seme to say Host Controller in there?

if you have 4 or more gigs of ram theres a glitch that makes the usb freak out go to 3 gigs or less and see if it goes away

Have you checked the BIOS settings for the USB type?

It may be listed under USB Configuration and ensure all settings are enabled and usb 2.0 controller is set to HiSpeed and Legacy USB Support is set to auto or enabled.

Sorry it seems that I may be grasping at straws here for you.

Did software come bundled with tis drive? If so has it been installed? If not installed can you install the software and test - don't forget to restart.

...another grasp here....
