I have the same problem with an 1Tb Iomega Prestige. It works flawlessly on several machines with windows XP and Linux but I have tried it on three different laptops with Windows Vista and none was able to recognize the filesystem which appears as RAW in the Disk Manager. So the only way that I have found to access the disk from my new laptop is a live cd linux. Does anybody know how to fix this USB Vista issue?
Thanks
Thanks

Did you formated the Hard disk on a Mac? using what file system? cos the macOS file system is not seen on a pc file system and you should use fat or fat 32 to be seen in both systems.
If the hardware is OK ( try a pen drive or another Usb device on the same port to check that its ok.
check the control panel in system- device manager- Ubs devices to see if you recognize the external device you attached. I its ok, then probably the file system that you formated the external HD is not recognized by the pc(laptop) so formar again using Fat or fat32. it must work

Hi,
Thanks for your answer .
No I didn't format it on the mac. I did it connecting it to the tv and from his menu gives you possibility to format it.
it is formated in both fat 32 and nfts , is possible to chaneg the % beetwen the 2 types. it does actually show up on my old lap top with window xp home edition, so I assume that is just the setting of my pc .
