Hi,

I have a few external HD's and been having a few weird issues recently. I have been using it on my laptop just fine but when i plug it into another computer it is asking to be formatted obviously i click no and its not accessible. When i plug it back into my laptop it works perfectly. I have this weird problem in the past with usb pen drives and that but just formatted them as nothing important was on them. Is there some sort of lock windows puts on a drive so its locked to that particular pc. Or am i just being unlucky :-o. Anyone else had this behavior or problem?

thanks
