POSSIBLE CURE
--------------------------
I know it is rather late in the day for this thread, but as I have just been battling to get my Passport 250 to be recognised, I thought I'd share a possible cure which worked for me.
Simply use the SHORT WD supplied USB lead.
I have a number of USB2 leads, including one bought today, but it is only the original short one that worked.
My Passport worked fine with a longer lead as well - but then for some reason the WD 250 GB Passport failed to connect again - despite working pefectly on 4 PC's including an old pentium 3 model.
It seemed to have this happen after the last Windows XP update - but I honestly doubt if that's the reason.
I know this is a bit simple, but it surprised me! So I hope this thread is of some help to someone else!
Regards
Ann
