Same problem here. I Have an external drive "My book essential 2" and in the begining everything was ok. And suddently windows doesn't recognize the hard drive. I Can hear a sound that a device is connected but nothing more. I Went to disk managment to give a name as jimbo45 described but i can't see the hard drive at all.
In my netbook (xp) works perfectly.
What i can do? :/

No! Not at all! When i am going to see what devices are in my usb, i can see a hard drive that not recognize but i am not sure if it's really the one hard disk that don't work or my other external disk that works.

Nope, it doesn't work, i think it's the external drive that already recognizes.

Yes, that would be really appreciated, since I also cannot find my portable disk in Explorer (but it shows up as an Unspecified device), assigning a letter via Disk management doesn't work since the portable HDD does not show up. Also, rebooting in Safe mode hasn't helped.
I'm really lost and I need the data on the HDD as soon as possible :S
