Re: Can't Read External Hard Drive

Quote:
I went into device manager, and my computer reads the external hard drive.
Does the disk show in Windows Explorer or My Computer?

Is this a new device for this machine? If so, and it shows itself as a drive in the above, (and there is no data on the device which you need to save) you may need to format the device.

What does Disk Manager show? (Start, Run, diskmgmt.msc)
or,
C:\WINDOWS\system32\diskmgmt.msc)

Are there partitions listed, or is it all Unallocated space?
