I have a ME-320 BYTECC external enclosure, I have put a WD 160 gig HD in this, was working like a champ the first few days, then suddenly it decided it doesn't want
to even ****ing reliaze it's even PLUGGED IN!, this is a USB 2.0/Firewire...so I have tried both, they both don't work.
The HD spins, the light is on, the fan spins on the external case, yet....windows doesn't realize it's plugged in, I even checked the USB power options, it isn't even
sending power to USB
WTF is going on? I am on WinXP and do have Firewire and USB 2.0...and has worked JUST FINE the last few days!!! HELP!
P.S. this is the 2nd time this has happened, SAME problem, I have RMA'd the last one
I have also tried this in 2 friends computers, doesn't work

I used to have similar problems with external drives and XP. Have you tried to refresh "My Computer"? Sometimes I would have to wait several minutes before my external drives would show up. I almost always used the external drive with firewire as well. Have you tried to power the drive down? I mean have you unplugged it? Just a thought.
