USB Hard Drive not working on one computer

I have 8 usb external hard drives for my backups. Mon –Sat and an Odd and
Even Month End Drives. I am running a Dell Power edge 2800 server,
Microsoft Windows 2003 Server. For some reason last Thursday when I plugged
in my Thursday drive the computer started acting crazy the log-in screen
disappeared and I could not get the system to respond to ctl, alt , del.
When I unplugged the USB hard dive I was able to log in and everything worked
fine. Now when I plug in the Thursday USB drive the server dose not see it
at all. I have plugged the Thursday Drive in to another computer and it
works fine. I have plugged the rest of my USB drive into the server and they
all work fine. How do I get my system to recognize this one drive?

Plug the USB drive into one of computer that can see
the drive without problems.

Open Disk Management and verify that drive is seen
correctly (full size). Move any files off of the USB drive
that you need and then delete the existing partition. Now
repartition and format. Take the drive and connect it to the
computer that it had problems with.

Did this fix the problem?
