you should try to format it and plug it again on your pc! there must be a virus which causes this!

Hi,
Did you ever get it to work? I havethesame problem on Vista with my iomega HD. Works fine on other PCs Laptops but is not allocated a drive letter when connecting it to my laptop. It only gets a drive letter when I plug it in before starting up the laptop. Any ideas on how to get the laptop to recognise it when plugging it in when it's powered up?
