I am borrowing a friends Samsung portable hard drive and when I plug it into my computer the add remove hardware icon shows up down by the clock same as when I am using my thumbdrive and the drive with the correct model number and everything shows up in the device manager but when I go into my computer I can't see it or access the drive letter that it would become. So far I have tried,

uninstalling/reinstalling the plug and play drivers.
Restarting
windows update
checked all of the cables (the computer knows that it is there, I just cant access it)
I know the harddrive itself is fine because it was just used the day before I borrowed it.
I have looked in computer management under disk management, but I don't know much about the different settings in there. Is there anything in disk management that that I should look at?

Any other ideas?
