Sorry Rm,. I don't have any advice on how to fix it. But I have felt like this guy more than once. YouTube - Old computer gets thrashed by sledge hammer

Good Luck!

If it recognizes the HD right click on the icon, (not a shortcut icon) and click on
"Troubleshoot Compatibility"
Then use the recommended settings. If the HD ran on Vista it should run on Win 7 also.
I have several older Maxtor external HD's that needed to run in VISTA, or XP compatibilityy mode. The nice thing about Win 7 is that it figures out which settings are best and applies them.

It's not recognizing the HD at ALL. Not anywhere. The light on the HD is on, so I know it works. But for some reason it will not recognize it.

Is the HD plugged into the computer directly or are you using an USB hub?
I've had hubs fail to relay from powered devices before.
