I connect one removable hard disk to my Vista PC by USB,I can
only see one
disk and another disk is missing from the system, how should I
fix this
problem?

Details! Details! Details!

You don't give enough for anyone to give you a valid response.

How many hard drives are in your system? How many partitions? What
type of
partitions (primary, extended or logical)? Does one of the internal
hard
drives disappear when you plug in a USB drive? What kind of USB
drive is it?

Try again for help.

Hi, thank you for your answer,

My removable disk has 2 partitions, when in another computer I can
see all
the two partitions, but in my vista PC , I can only see one
partition,
another one is missing, the internal disk has no problem right now.

So please help me to fix this problem?


Windows only supports a single partition on removable media drives,
so as far as I know you are pretty much out of luck.

He has already said that when connected up to another computer he sees
2 partitions!

And from reading other posts from the OP, it is likely that this hard
drive was connected up as an internal drive, not in an external USB
enclosure. My reply stands: Windows only supports a single partition on
removable media drives.
