I have an Iomega 1TB USB drive connect to my Vista (x64) Ultimate PC.

I have to manually power OFF and then back ON for the PC to recognize it. This occurs even after rebooting. It works with XP fine.

Any thoughts?
 
I had to do this for an E-sata flash drive I bought although usb connection for it worked fine. Still give it a try.
 
I tried this and rebooted, but still have the same issue. I set the DWORD back to 4 (as it was).

I think you may be on the right track, though. If Vista is not enabling drivers by default, then it should be a relatively simple fix.
 
Do you have any other usb devices like mice or what not that work when plugged in when the comp is on?
