I've got a portable hard drive connected to my rig, it was working a few days ago. When I plug it in now, it doesn't show up in My Computer, but it is listed as a USB device. I need some important files off of it, but don't have another computer around to test it on.

Do you see it under Disk Management under the Admin Tools? (Control Panel > Admin Tools > Disk Management)

Yeah, it shows up in Disk Management as my H drive, but I can't access the H:\ drive through windows explorer unless i go through Disk Management.
