I wasn't getting any helpful responses on the APB forums, so I copied and pasted all that I said on to this. Please help!
Post 1-
I have a Maxtor 250 GB External hard drive that I always have hooked up to my computer. I use it for large files like movies, music and some games (like APB). Recently my hard drive began to not open and instead give me this message:
"The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'External Hard Drive.Ink' refers to is unavailable. Make sure the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available, and then try again."
I've checked the USB cord, it's plugged in fine and I've tried restarting it, unplugging and plugging in again all the cords and even using a different USB port- all with the above result.
I want to play APB :'(
Any suggestions? *goes to find the exact specs*

I just unplugged and replugged the power adapter cord, and it gave me two messages "New hardware detected- Maxtor Hard drive" or something and "New hardware detected- Disk Drive". Still cannot open it.
I have many files and a game or two stored on this hard drive, I need to fix this! I've tried reinstalling the software and everything imaginable including reversing the USB cord, securing all the cords and many other things...
yeah
