hi guys i just bought an internal hard drive w/ usb 2 days ago. i then COPIED pictures from a friend's computer to my hard drive and it was working very well. 2 hrs before my FLIGHT overseas, i attached my hard drive to my other friend who wanted to copy the pictures. after all the copying finished i clicked safely remove hardware then selected my hard drive. A few mins of waiting i GOT tired and shut the computer down w/o waitng for the " you can now safely remove the hardware ballon" took my drive then left. i just got back home and connected the drive to my computer. BUT my computer isnt doing anythng. i checked at device manager there was a yellow exclamation point saying

Code 47
Windows cannot use this hardware device because it has been prepared for safe removal, but it has not been removed from the computer. (Code 47)

i already tried a dozen times removing the drive, and restarting the computer. i even MOVED it to DIFF usb slots. still nothing happens. the computer can't find my hard drive.. i need your help.. thank you in advanceTry this from Technet...
