I dont know why but my external hard drive isnt showing up when connected.. Windows makes the connection noise when I plug it in but it dont show up in disk management, device manager or anywhere else... If I plug it into a regular usb port it works fine... And its a usb 3.0 capable drive it worked before....any thoughts guys?" I tried the new hardware wizard in device manager and didnt see anything... drivers all look fine....

I would go to Device manager and determine which USB 3.0 driver you have installed? Win 8 has a native USB 3.0 driver, if your on win 7 download the latest driver from the vendor. Then Uninstall the USB 3.0 Host driver. Reboot and install the latest driver you downloaded or If Win 8 the driver should auto install to the default.

Yea the earlier USB 3.0 Drivers were a little flaky and got corrupted every now and them, seems like the latest with Win 8 and Intel for my NB are a lot more stable.
