This morning i plugged in an External USB drive, the PC finds it, its listed under drives in device manager and even listed under drives in disk management but its not listed in my computer so i cant access any files.

I have the same problem with 3 External drives 2 Seagate and 1 Samsung and a Lexar USB Pen drive.

I have tried updating the drivers for devices, tried deleting device and letting windows refind it and even tried 4 other USB Ports and all the same happens.

Any ideas how i can sort this?

Im using Windows 7 Pro x64.
