SOMEONE MENTIONED THE WINDOWS PATCH FROM THE OTHER NIGHT AND IT CAUGHT MY EYE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND A COUPLE OTHER QUIRKS THAT POPPED UP. OK?

Tried both front and back. Once my KDE 4.0 download finishes I'll be able to tell for sure that it is not a hardware issue... but I am guessing that isn't the problem... I have a fairly high-end (for it's day) MSI board, high-end power supply... not some wal-mart throw-away system. Tried other cables. Turned off the printer. Did everything but toss it against the wall. The point of my post was to generate a little discussion about the Windows patch that came through the other day, since someone else thought that might have started trouble for them.

Ugggh. I just got the WD Passport 250 drive home and it XP Pro SP2 won't recognize it... tried short and long cables, back and front ports... another computer running linux sees it just fine, so it definitely works... i did just get a windows update last night... ugggh. Windows does three very quick "dongs" and that's it, when I plug it in... the hardware manager just says theres no driver for it.
