I got a new portable hard drive and now it shows a big red x on it. I provided a picture from imageshack to show you.
But yeah, theres that big x, and the icon looks like a network folder.

Not that im running Vista 64bit but also, this harddrive used to be in a laptop but i bought an external case and now i use it as a portable device.



Answer
You should wipe the hard disk clean first and then reformat it.

Use DBAN to wipe it, then Vista to reformat it.

Read the instructions and then download and run

How do I change the root letter of my portable hard drive from G to F in Windows XP?

I plugged my portable hard drives in a different order and it automatically assigned them different letters. Now my programs are looking in the wrong places for files. How do I manually assign drive letters?


Answer
I hate no talent clowns on here... changing your drive letter is really easy.

-right click "My Computer"
-click "manage"
-click "disk management" under "storage"
-right click on the drive you want to change
-click "change drive letter and path"
-click "change"
-change the drive letter
