A few months ago, I had some malware on my laptop that I removed via help from these forums. Now, my Autorun feature does not work. I can run most CD's and DVD's by using programs, but I just got a new Maxtor OneTouch hard drive which does not show up in My Computer. It says it is installed in the Device Manager, but I can't figure out how to access the drive. Got any ideas?

You could try to see the disk through Disk Management:
1. Make sure you're logged in as an Administrator.
2. Windows Key + R
3. In the Run dialog box, type compmgmt.msc and press enter.
4. In the console tree, click Disk Management on the left hand side. The Disk Management window displays, with your disks and volumes shown.

If that doesn't work, it may be that the Maxtor software isn't installed. To find the appropriate software for your specific version of OneTouch and OS, see http://www.seagate.c...port/downloads/

Hope this helps!

Click on START, RUN and type in diskmgmt.msc and that will bring up the Disk Management utility. Assign your new drive an open drive letter and it should work just fine. It could also be that it's not formatted yet and may require that but the Disk Management utility will show that.

For Autoplay on the CDs try this utility from Microsoft: Autoplay Repair Wizard
