External hard drive connectivity lost
Hi
I'm having trouble with an external hard drive which connects via USB. The drive now very rarely gets recognised and the drive letter does not appear in the directory.
I have uninstalled all the USB controllers and let windows reinstall them however this has not solved the problem. I have also done a system restore back about two weeks which is when the problem started however this has also not solved it.
I have also scanned the drive for problems. I do not get this problem when the drive is plugged into another laptop using another lead.
Any thoughts? I'm running Windows 7.
Regards
