I've epxerienced this plenty over the years, but never really found a good-for-all cure.
I've been reformatting some 2.5" hdd's by putting them into an external caddy and mounting on my XP Pro desktop etc.
I've done 2 drives this morning no problem.
The last one gives a 'bing bong' sound as it does when windows recognises hardware. It tells me the hardware is installed an ready to use, but it won't mount, so i can't do anything with it. Unlugging it and replugging it in, gives the same 'bing bong' but still won't mount.
I've looked in computer management and refreshed the drives lists, but nothing.
Can't think of what else to do.....HELP!....please
