I have a WD external hard drive model #WD5000H1cs-00. For several years this ran on my pc with Windows XP. I recently moved the drive to a laptop running Windows Vista and now the laptop does not see the drive. What do I need to do to get the laptop to see the drive? bookworm14

Laptop does not see the external hard drive

For a start go into disk Management and see if the drive is shown there and see if it has a drive letter and is online.
