I have a Windows 2003 Ent. Server. I tried a Maxtor and a Western Digital USB drive that I wanted to use for backup purposes as tapes are a pain and no luck. I see the drive being recognized, it appears in the device manager under disk drives, but I can't see it under my computer.

Anyone have any ideas???

Are the USB slots known to be working with other devices?
