Try uninstalling the drive using the Device Manager, and then reboot the computer.  When the computer reboots, Windows should detect the drive as "new hardware", and reinstall the drivers for it.  At that point you can try the drive out to see if it has restored its functionality.  If not, my suggestion would be to purchase a new drive to replace your present one.

For backup (one touch) i would go with Seagate, but for a portable hard drive i would use WD (western digital)\n\nBoth are excellent companies, and i haven't had a faulty product from them yet.

If you are on a very tight budget, then get an internal 3.5 inch hard disk drive IDE or ATA will be adequate.  Buy the enclosure, separately.  You will be able to save a lot of money and you will be able to get a bigger hard disk drive.\n\nIf money is no object and dont want the hassle of putting everything together then buy a retail external hard disk drive.  However, the capacity of the hard disk will be relatively low when compared to the price.\n\nThe main difference is that a retail ready drive comes pre-configured with software and is truly plug and play.  If you open it up, you are not going to see anything different.\n\nPutting together and setting it up is easy.  A little patience is all that is required.  I have three external hard disks.  I managed to get some bargains online.  Saved a bundle.\n\nI have written a couple of guides on this, it may prove to be useful.  See below

I don't have any experience with Seagate HDD's, but I have heard from people who have used them in heavy usage situations and they say that they are not all that good. They recommend Western Digital first and Maxtor a close second. I have built a couple of computers, and I buy most of my parts from newegg.com. I do trust the customer comments, especially the last two months, this may show a trend in quality issues.

Get all you data off it NOW!!!! You can buy new harddrives for laptops and some of them are not to hard to install, But some of them are hard to install. If the laptop is old and you have the money get a new one. If not look on the web for info on how hard it would be to install a new Harddrive.

It would be easier to just replace the unit, there not very expensive and you can do it with a screwdriver and 15 min. of free time.  newegg has very good drives for a reasonable amount.

See if you can upgrade to a later version. Later versions may support your drive.

Seagate offers a free software to analyze your system and check out your hard drive.\n\nhttp://www.seagate.com/support/

Another good place for RAM is at http://www.18004memory.com You can run an applet on their site that will tell you how many slots you have, if you have any available, and exactly what RAM you can have as a total, along with prices.  For the Hard Drive I would like to recommend either http://www.geeks.com or http://www.pricewatch.com Both are very reputable.  Hope this helps

i would go for Maxtor, Seagate or WesternDigi\nalmost same quality, but i think WesternDigi is the cheaper one..\n80Gb or 100Gb should be below 100$ with a normal casing

No, I did once, and it cost $100 to come out and $100 an hour, no joke. Nothing is that important, cheaper to buy an new hard drive (as I learned MY lesson...)

I have a 120gb drive that I bought about three years ago and it cost me around $130.00. You can find the same kind now for about $70-$90. Mine is a Maxtor. I like those the best.

As long as you are going to all that trouble to put another drive on the new machine you might want to see what is on sale lately. I saw that Microcenter on the Internet has a 250 gig drive for $49 after rebates. Comes the day after Thanksgiving (Black Friday) I expect a bunch more great sales. Keep an eye out for a biggie at a low price.
