Can't see external hard drive in Windows Explorer

I am connecting an external hard drive (Acomdata 250G drive - pretty
standard) via USB to my HP laptop running Vista. I am able to see the device
listed under Disk Drives in the Device Manager. Drilling into Properties, I
see that the device is running properly and, having re-loaded the device
drivers, I have the most recent drivers.

The issue: I am unable to see the device listed in Window Explorer, and thus
I can't drill into the folders to get at the content.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
