...WIndows. It still spins, but can't get Windows to recognize it... Has the disk completely failed, or is did it just have a Windows breakdown? I have bought a CoolMax 3.5" External Enclosure, which connects an internal 3.5" IDE drive to any computer by USB or firewire, but my Windows XP Pro computer still doesn't give it a drive letter.However, the weird thing is that when I plug in the USB cable, Windows goes "Kerplunk" and says a USB 2.0 device has been connected. Also, when I right-click on My COmputer and go into Properties > Device Manager, the 3.5" drive shows up under my list of disk drives (WDC WD60 0BB-75CCB0 USB Device).How can I force Windows to register and explore this hidden drive?p.s. My primary drive is a WD 160GB and it is working fine (2005). The WD 60GB is 2 years older, but was working last time I checked... the workstation has been used for about 6 months by my sister since I last used it).

You're probably missing some drivers. Check the manufacturer's website, see if you can download them.
