Just try to watch a movie on Xbox360 but the USB was not recognizable. So my brother he clicked on"configure USB Drive" and he click on "customize". Few seconds later the screen froze, restarted the Xbox360, but it still not working.
We give on watching movie on Xbox360, going back to PC, but it would not appear on "my computer". Try other USB drive works perfectly but Seagate FreeAgent Desktop USB Drive just don't work. The light is on and it shows on the "Devices and Printers" but I can't not open or brows the files in the drive.
I have a Sony VAIO series laptop, Windows 7. The Seagate FreeAgent Desktop USB Drive is the exact same one like this one.
I don't know what to do, I have important stuff on that hard drive. Someone help me please!!!

This is normal and doesn't indicate a problem. Hard drives never appear under "My Computer". People think they're supposed to because mounted partitions with associated drive letters appear there.
Where it says
Hard Disk Drives, it actually means mounted partitions on hard disk drives. Microsoft, trying to make things simple, actually created a significant source of confusion. If you take a close look with the other USB drive. You'll see it's not the drive that appears there but a mounted partition on the drive, with an associated drive letter, that appears. (That's why drives with two associated partitions appear twice.)If the drive appears under
Devices, then nothing is wrong. You can manage the drive from the Disk Manager. Typedrvmgmt.mscinto theRunbar.
