press start and right click on "my computer" or whatever you see there. in the main window you should have "basicinformations" and on the left "tasks". in this tasks line go to hardware-manager, devices-manager, or something similiar you see there. you should get a window with all your hardware shown.. search for your external hdd(plug it in before!) and uninstall all drivers. plug it in again, drivers should be installed again. maybe it works
Also with usb stick Np at all.
Check your mobo drivers
But, how do you notice that Vista finds the external HDD? I mean, if some window is showing up, mostly there is an option to open the map immediatly?
It's not just a folder, it's a whole drive!
Right click on Computer and click Manage, expand Storage and click Disk Management. You should be able to format the drive and windows will asign a letter to it, then it will be visible in My Computer next to the other partitions.
