    Hi all, i recently damaged the portable USB hard drive i had and it would no longer work, the hard drive is easily removable from the usb casing so i thought that if i bought a new drive to go in there it would work correctly, today i had the new drive (2.5' drive) and fitted it to the usb case no probs, it even installed with no probs, how ever although windows has installed it, and reconises it in device manager as a USB hard drive, it does not appear in "My Computer" and i can seem to access it from anywhere. Any know why this might be? and was i wrong in assuming this would work in the first place?

    Thanks
