recently installed Vista Home Premium 64-bit. My Free Agent 500GB external hard drive is having problems, occurring randomly:
drive not recognized on Device Manager
drive recognized, but showing as empty
light blinking steadily on drive
light blinking crazily, turning off, turning on (this just today, with a subsequent notice that "Device driver software was not successfully installed: USB mass storage device ready to use/generic storage device USB device ready to use-unidentified device: device unplugged
Several times I've unplugged and replugged the drive, and it's recognized, no problems, but on reboot, disappears from device manager again......Any ideas?
