Unable to access external DVD/SATA drive
I recently backed up some DVD's on my system. Now I can no longer access my
external hard drive or DVD recorder. It does not appear in Computer or in the device manager. I have reinstalled windows, but they still do not appear. Yet, when I plug in my Flash Drive, it recognizes it. I have a Toshiba, Satellite P105. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. |

So typical of Vista. Try removing the USB/firewire plug, wait a minute, replug, make a sandwich, see if is recognized. If not, repeat until Vista wakes up its sleepy head. Q |

What is Toshiba Support telling you? Which specific P105 do you have?
