External Hard Drive problem -- reads as local drive
I've had a usb 2.0 external hard drive (80gb) for a while now, and just today, when i turned on the driver to make use of it, nothing happened. (Usually, Windows XP will start to automatically load the driver and I'll see as it cycles all my files in the drive in the top left corner of my screen.) So nothing happened. I checked out My Computer, and it displayed the external drive, but the contents show nothing. Under its detail, it lists the drive as a local drive also. I have already uninstalled the driver from the device manager and reinstalled, and even fooled around with the install files on the cd-rom that the external drive came with. Is there any other help, please? Or do I have to resort to formatting the drive, or partitioning, or whatever... I have no clue, but I would really like to keep all the files I have saved on the drive. Thanks a lot for all ya'll's time.
