    usb hard drive shown by computer but unable to access

    hi Friends I have recently installed windows RC1 in my laptop. I have one Verbatim/SmartDisk USB 2.0 Firelite external drive. When I plug this drive in my laptop it is recognized by the system and shows up in the Device. But i am not able to view the contain of it.

    I have another external USB drive of sandisk and it is fully recognized and accessible from Win7 RC1.

    when i tried to connect Firelite in to another PC running winxp it is recognized and accessible on a system. It also working on Win7 Beta.

    Please ,give me any suggestion.
    thanks in advance.
