I hate to say it.... but instead of facing the prospect of reinstalling Windows, I just went & bought another drive.
That DID "fix" it. Although I'm not convinced that the hardware was truly defective. Periphial manufacturers must love the entry to mid level user's "knee-jerk, just buy another one" mentality.
I'm a recent migrant to PC as I primarily use a Mac for my business (Graphic Design). Doing a reinstall of the OS (Mac) is a less daunting proposition to cure this type of obscure malfunction.
Does Windows allow a OS only reinstall that leaves the rest of one's HD untouched? It would be nice to know about it or to have the option in the future.
