HELP NEEDED....

Hey,

I am having, and have been having, trouble with my New 320GB External Hard drive. I have read this entire documentation and have found no solution.

My Hard drive is a Verbatim 320GB, Model : 62872. It is only 3 months old and has worked before.

The problem is that when i plug the hard drive into my 2.0 USB Port, it does all the "Right" Things. A Green light flashes on the drive itself but it doesn't show in : "My Computer" , "Disk Management" or any of the other ways listed above. Again, it has worked before and it does occasionally show up in the explorer. It does not have an external power source and it was an auto install drive.Seconond to this it does occasionally give a series of loud "Beeps", when it does it will not works.

Any help on the topic will be of great help.

Thanks Dlock55a
