    My hard drive works fine on my computer. Running W7. My friends computer runs Vista and it tells me to reformat or it cant red. An easy way? (or hard way) to read my files, music files. Or is it possible. Have googled for ages and can't get an answer that helps. Its a 500gb WD HD if that makes a big difference. Thanks in advance.

    It could be a dodgy usb cable. Have you tried using it in any other PC or laptop?

    no its the same cable that works perfect on mine, this is not first time ive had this sort of problem with HD's, not just this one. Im probabaly doing something very simple wrong.

    update drivers on Vista computer, try a different USB port (preferably one on the back, not front/top ones)
