Ok.
I just bought this 500gb external harddisk. On the box it says plug n play, just
like my other external, which i just plugged in, formatted, and used. Well this
one, i plugged it in, i hear the usb device sound, but then nothing. It doesn't
show the extra harddisk on my computer. It does, however, show the safely remove
device icon, and when i safely remove it, the storage device name is there to
click -.- any suggestions? Did i do something completely wrong?
I'd really like this harddisk to just fcking work. It's 12.15am now and i already
overslept once this week -.-

I'm going to type this in Dutch quick, sorry..:
Beetje laat nu, maar misschien moet je het station nog een letter toewijzen;
moet je gaan naar start -> uitvoeren -> compmgmt.msc daar intikken, en dan in het venster wat opent ff bij schijfbeheer kijken en indien nodig een letter toewijzen aan het station (dat wijst zichzelf dan verder wel)
Als dat et niet is heb ik geen idee : \

Plug in; boot pc, then boot external HD
If it doesn't show in "My computer"
Reboot pc(leave external HD on)
Does it show now?
Also, I read: "No problems with my other external HD".
-> Is your other HD on? Maybe they have the same letter => conflicting.
If none of these help; could u maybe post the model/type of the external HD?
And please check if the HD is formatted as NTFS, if not do so.
FAT32 is almost the same as NTFS; only slower when it comes to searching files AND it can NOT store 1 file bigger than 4 GB! (FAT32 - max file size = 4GB ; NTFS - max file size = "unlimited")

its fixed.
thanks for the tips, but i know that plug and play means plug it in, reboot
pc, let it install its drivers. there was a trick for it. i had to rightclick
"my computer" and then "administrate" or something, it's "beheren" in dutch.
there i had to format that disk, now it all works.
