I have an archos Jukebox and when I plug it into my computer the "unplug hardware" appears in the bottom right corner, but when I go to "My Computer" there is no extra drive detected. What do I do?

Answer
click on "my computer" or whatever again. my pc doesn't recognize my camera when i connect it, when i try to detect it it's not there. when i try to detect it a 2nd time, it's there.

Answer
Pretty much any USB portable hard drive that is Plug-and-Play Compliant will work on both Macs and PCs, providing you use a file system that works on both. NTFS is the standard for PCs, but Macs can only read files in that file system, not write them. A file system that will work with both Macs and PCs is FAT32. You can format your hard drive to FAT32 using Windows, just google it. A recommended hard drive for you is this one:
