Hello,



I have a WD Elements external hard drive that will not show up in Windows. I can plug any other device in all USB ports and windows see them with no issues. I can also plug in the Hard drive on another older laptop with no issues. The light on the drive comes on when plugged into the laptop I am trying to connect it too. This drive was working on this machine previously. Not sure what happened to cause this. Would like some ideas on how to fix. Thank you.
 
The OP has an ongoing thread on at least one other forum, to avoid any conflicting advice that could cause a mishap this thread will be closed.
