I just got a new computer with Vista installed. My external hardrive Was formatted on my old computer which had XP. I'm fairly certain it's formatted FAT32 and it's partitioned. When I plug it into any of the USB ports on my new computer, it is not recognized at all. I've searched in the device manager and within the "Computer" screen. I am very new to Vista so I don't know what else I can do at the moment. Please help.
