I have a problem with my portable drive, but i dont know how to fix it. i think i have a driver issue. i know by usb connection isnt broken or anything, because other drives like my friends external drive still works in em, i also know that my drive works still because it works in other computers. here's the problem. it never needed anything to be installed before to work on ym comp, and i can just plug it into any random comp and itll work, but when i plug it into my comp, it says that i need new drivers, and when i throw in the little disk (which i think is corrupted somehow), or search online, it never works. every link i can find seems to be dead. here's another point which i think might have something to do with my problem. whenever i try to plug in my portable drive with someone else who has an external drive, i wont work. and in some cases i just have to unplug it and itll work, but in others, depending on the external, my portable will never work on that comp. weird. and i mentioned before that my friends external works on my comp. ... so maybe if i were able to locate the drivers from his drive which might be conflicting with mine... this is way out on a limb here and i have no idea if im going in the right direction, please respond with some suggestions, if im in the right direction or not, if you need the model number of my drive or my friends external, etc.
thanx
