USB mass storage problem on vista

Hi there mikejan,

Is the drive recognized by Disk Management and how?
As it is recognized on other computers, it may be a good idea to back up the data stored on it.
Then, I guess you can try the following: Go to Device Manager -> Uninstall the drive -> Plug it out and restart your system -> plug it back in.

Hope this will help,
