I have a usb external hard drive (Freecom 80GB). Ever since friday I have
been unable to access this drive. It doesn't show up in my computer whereas
previously it was the J drive. It doesn't show up on the disk managment
thing. In device manager It has USB mass storage device and in this it has
a yellow triangle with a black exclamation mark in it. When you right click
and select properties it has an error message which says 'This device
cannot start. (Code 10)'. I would appreciate any help in getting this drive
to work again or advice about how I could possibly get the data off it.

Try rolling back to a restore point before the friday that it failed.
