Not seeing my External

May 30, 2006 2:57AM PDT

I have a Maxtor One Touch II 300GB USB external drive.
The drive turns on and I can feel the disk spinning in the case, but windows does not recognize that it exists.

Any suggestions on what to do?

You didn't detail what you did or tell if your XP has SP1 which is needed for such to show.

-> Sorry, but this and the other fine suggestions do apply to this issue. Your posts don't reveal where your issue lies or what you've done.
