Help... USB Portable drive not running in Vista!!!

[koolbluez]

Heard of driver probs & all in Vista. But mine is different. Its a software problem with my hardware.

I've a HP Pav with Win Vista Ultimate installed. When I poked in my USB sticks, they were gladly detected & i was able to "explore" them. But, l8r when I tried the same on my assembled portable drive, it got detected (drivers installed auto by Vista... et al...).. but I was not able to "explore" it. Actually it wasn't even shown in "My Computer". I don't suppose there are unique Vista drivers for my portahardisk (coined by me.. copyrighted & licensed ) as it runs on ordinary usb drivers.


Help.

usb mass storage drivers are the ones which are required. thats it. check in disk management whether the drive's detected or not.

nope.. not done.. i "rescanned" for new hardware there.. but to no avail.

The first time i plugged in my drive, there was some driver installation by default in Vista. But no drive detected
