http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

here's what you need to select

-product: notebook
-series: F50 series
-model: F50SL

click on search.

as soon as you see the results, click on VGA, then select a download server

sure.
that could mean multiple things, so let's find out.

first, i'd like to know if you've tried connecting the drive to other USB ports that are present on your laptop?

so you mean that you pulled out the power cable?
strange, i don't think you did anything wrong.

well the good news is, you hear a sound, which means Windows detects something ;)

let's see if Windows tells you something about the issue.

go to Control panel, it looks like this:


-go to system and maintenance, or whatever it's called in your version

-click on device manager



you'll see a list of hardware.
not sure where the drive is divided into ( mine for example, is listed as a hard disk, but this may differ)
i found a picture that shows the possible locations:


i'm quite sure your device has an exclamation symbol next to it, something like this(different device off course):



click on the device, and read any available information about the issue

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.

Since this has turned into a FAQ thread for Dre-Day I have another small problem. I've got this folder that I can't delete. I keep getting the message as if the files are in use, so I can't delete them. But I haven't used them in like 6 months (nothing important, some old video files). So basically, how do I delete something that Windows doesn't let me ?

Try deleting the files first then the folder.
Had that same problem billions of times.
