Please help my frustration...
I have a FAT32 formatted external hard disk which just will not show up
in PC which is running Vista. I can here the drive connection chime when
I plug it in and it shows in the Device Manager window. This tells me
it's functioning properly but it refuses to give me an icon so I can
access the contents. If I open the Computer Management/Storage/Disk
Management window it shows the drive in the list but I can't initialize
it or change the drive letter or anything at all.

Not sure what the problem might be I plugged the drive into my other PC
which is running XP and it showed straight away. So I formatted the
drive again on the XP computer as NTFS but still would not show on my
Vista PC.

I'm really at a loss as to what to try next. Maybe it's a permissions
problem but it seems strange that it works fine with XP but not Vista.
