    Both iMac and Macbook Pro cant see USB external hard drive but in Vista Boot Camp it could even though it is formatted as FAT.

    However the USB External Drive was working fine in MAC OSX a few days what do you think has happened to my USB DRIVE and how do i fix it?

    Vista reports that my USB Hard drive is working and very healthy.


    Thanks in advance.

    Did you safely remove the device on Windows? That can be the cause a lot of the time for it not working on Windows.
