lynns,
I've re-booted this thing more times than I can count, but the de-install, re-install is a great idea. I was hesitant to try this as I was looking for the disk or software attribute that's turning off the PC's 'eyes' to see the drive in the first place. The more I think about it, re-installing should put the drive back to so-called original state. Thanks for the tip!
