Hi
Got me last week, a device without a suitable driver.

This device is called "Volume / storage". If someone has formatted it again, it works fine there. Let the hardware detection run first and greetz ... After the formatting, the message "new hardware found" suddenly appeared and the hard disk was no longer displayed in my workstation. In the device manager in Vista, the disk is also installed as Vista and my data is played back onto my computer via USB hard disk.

Among other devices I have reformatted the plate fresh.
