I just bought a usb 160GB external hard drive from ebay. My OS is WinXP. The hard drive model is MDT MD16 00JB something like that. The problem is I can't see the hard drive in 'My Computer'. But I can see the disk in Device Manager. Instead of using the USB Mass Storage Device driver by Windows, I installed the driver provided by the enclosure manufacturer. But that doesn't help, I still can't see the drive in 'My Computer' and I can't access it.
I have tried on another computer that runs XP as well, but still doesn't work. I really appreciate any help that I can get.
