I have an external hard drive and I am plugging it in (via a USB connection)
however the drive is not recognised. I have tried clicking on My Computer
then clicking manage but the computer just will not find any driver for the
hard drive so therefore it isn't working. I haven't a clue what the problem
could be whether its the jumper setting, or whether I am not fully updated
although that doesn't sem to want to work either I always end up waiting for
ages for it to update. Its really annoying any suggestions?

Is this a drive you assembled into a case? If so, did you set the drive
jumpers to Master? Is the internal power cable connected?

When you plug the drive in, does Windows recognise that a device has been
attached?
