I have a huge amount of stuff on an external hard drive. I just got a new computer...and plugged it in and did the windows search for drivers thing. it said it couldnt find any, so i just skipped it.

now ive gone and found drivers for it online. when i plug my HD into the computer it just doesnt recognize it at all. pretends like the HD just doesnt exist.

so im thinking i have to go and find the drivers that XP installed when i promted me the first time and delete them. then reinstall. Where do i find them? i searched through Devise manager and couldnt find them...

its a MAXTOR firewire HD.

You'll need to go to update.microsoft.com and let it do its thing. It will see anything and everything that is hooked up to the PC and find updates and drivers for it.
