Sorry you hate this stuff...
I know the HD will eventually fail but also knew that this time it hadn't since my first action was to test it on the other pc.
We've had externals at work fail and bring them to a place that does recovery and recopies the files to new hard drives.
This is why I miss my zip drive-those little disks could be used and reused until they couldn't be any more. I could work off them, resave thru any software without going thru my pc first. I did notice that Office Depot sells the disks....I should see if our drives actually still work....

Well, it seems Mr. Tech Support didn't fix things after all, only partitioned my hard drive.
I don't know why this pc is not "seeing" the hard drive, but everything else-printer, scanner, webcam, camera and tablet-are ok.
