I just purchased a new WD 160gb external hdd and xp sp2 refuses to recognize
the drive at all. It never shows up in device mgr(only a yellow question mark
is shown in other devices/ext hdd), no drive letter is ever assigned, and the
new hardware wizard can't find any driver for it. No drivers came with the
drive since xp is SUPPOSED to have them built-in. I've got 2 usb ports and
both work perfectly fine for every other device I plug in except this hdd. WD
support has gone thru it with me and says its a windows problem.
Someone, anyone, please help!! I have to remove all my school work from this
computer(it was leased for me for retraining and I have to give it back).
