Usb cannot initialize drive3/17/2024 Why doesn't the drive show up in the list under START > COMPUTER? If it doesn't show up there with a letter assigned I can't use it. The computer recognizes that the drive is there. Under General it says "This device is working properly" Right-clicking the Drive 1 here and selecting Properties brings up a box labeled TOSHIBA MK1646GSX USB Device Properties. It also shows the DVD drive and the printer if I have it connected. This screen shows the C: drive as Disk 0 and the external iomega drive as Drive 1. If I go to START and right-click COMPUTER and then select MANAGE to get the Computer Management screen and then select Disk Management, I get the screen showing all the drives connected. All that show is the C: drive, the D: Recovery partition of the C: drive, the DVD drive and, if I have it attached, my HP 3180 inkjet printer. However, when I go to START > COMPUTER the drive doesn't show up on the list of drives. When I plug it in to a USB port the computer "dings", the power light on the drive lights up and I can hear the drive running if I put it up to my ear. I bought an iomega 160 GB eGo external USB-powered hard drive which is supposed to be pre-formatted and ready to go (plug-and-play). Internal hard drive - 80 GB Hitachi HT541680J
