Hi; my 320 gig USB hard drive (NTFS format) is recognized by Vista 64 as "local drive J" However it will not index and my 120gigs of music, photos and photostories collected over the years is now held hostage on the drive. I have 2 Vista 32 computers and 1 Vista 64 computer and suddenly none of them will index the drive. It worked with both the Vista 32 computers previously. Last maybe 2 months ago. I have recently upgraded some drivers using a program called Drive Robot (marketed to me by microsoft.) The red and green led lights both work on the usb drive, but no index or availability of files. The one thing I counted on from this 1 year old usb hard drive. Any ideas??? Anyone?........Anyone?........Anyone?.........
