Maxtor 3100 Not Recognized

I want to use my Maxtor 3100 (200GB) external hard drive to create a system image  of my Windows 7 64 bit system.  When plugged in I get the message "not recognized" no matter which usb 2.0 port I connect it to.  When I plug in into my wife's laptop 5 feet away with the same Windows 7 64 bit operating system on it, it functions properly.  Any ideas?  Thanks!
