pluging bad the usb cable of a hd usb results in no presence in "My Computer"

Hi from Spain,

last night i plug a usb HD to my server, running windows 2003 enterprise
edition servicepack 2, as the cable was not long enough i could not plugin
totally, but was enough to the system, which detected it and launched de
hardward wizard which stopped by the time i retired the connector. I made
room for the cable and pluged it again, the hardward wizard runs again and
apparently installing ok the HD, but no item is displayed, no letter for the
harddrive appears in "My Computer". The usb HD runs good in my desktop, with
no problem. But yes appears the icon to remove safely the usb mass storage
device in the notification area.
If i run diskmgmt.msc on the server the usb HD is displayed but with no
letter assigned, healthy status and 100% free (which is not true, there's
data in the usb HD).
Is there any registry key i must reconfigure? what can i do?

Regards.

Hi m0rg4n in Spain. Try opening diskmanagement, right click on the usb HD,
and select "change drive letter and paths". Accept the proposed drive letter
or change it to what you want. click ok and you should be able to see the
drive in My Computer.
