Hello

Someone was asking about drives not appearing. Below is a message I received from someone last year. It worked for me.

Try running diskmanager and see if the external drives show up there.
If they do then assign them to a drive letter.
From the run dialogue box type "diskmgmt.msc" to bring up the diskManager.

Mike.

Hi,

I have a Samsung S2 portable hard drive that is no longer showing up in My Computer/Windows Explorer.

It appears to have power when I connect it to a USB port as it starts to vibrate shortly afterwards, and a Safely Remove Hardware icon appears after I connect it under Windows 7, It is also showing up in Devices and Printers and is apparently working properly according to the General tab sheet of its Properties dialogue.

I've tried to access content using various drive letters from the Run dialogue box but apparently none of the letters have been assigned to a drive.

Is there anything I'm missing?

Cheerss,
