Problem connecting USB Drive???

Hey there,

A few weeks ago, I successfully connected my external USB backup disk drive to my HP laptop.

I tried to do the same thing yesterday and although the disk drive is connected I can't see it or navigate the contents. I can connect the same drive to another PC running XP.

On my HP laptop I'm running Vista Business Service pack 2, 32 bit opsys
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU 2.4GHz, memory = 2GB,

Please help as this drive contains all my laptop backups etc....

Any ideas?

Regards

Greg

 

Update:
Just also wanted to mention that I can successfully connect a variety of USB devices to the exact same USB slot on the laptop as follows:
-printer
-3 different USB sticks
- Mobile connect card

Appreciate your time...

Regards

Greg
