Hi, after formats, you always get stupid problems like mine lol. here is another one. I connected my external hard drive on which was recognised fine and opened up ok. I copied some documents over for back-up. I now cannot find the drive. It is not on my computer. When I check it on the systems/hardware etc, it shows there and it reports everything is fine. Anyone know how to get the drive on my computer please? -------------------------------------------------- Thank you Ali
