I using XP Pro. I've been using a WD My Book Essential Edition drive for 6-7
months no problem. When I went to use the computer this afternoon the drive
was no longer recognized. I've unplugged, rebooted and all combinations
thereof to no avail. XP recognizes that a USB device has been connected, but
not what kind. Does anyone have any advice????
