I have a wd my book 3tg 1130. i have used it on multiple computers with no problems. plug it in and installs right away and never a problem.
i got it so can do backups and plugged it in to a hp compaq computer running xp. the drivers installed but the drive won’t show up. it does not even appear in disk management.
i had a older firmware on it so upgraded to latest and installed it to wd while it was connexced to the compaq .
the firmware installer detected the drive and upgraded with no problem so obvioulsy the usb is not the problem…
made sure i had the latest drivers for 32 bit and the drive shows up under hard drives on device manager but still can’t access it and doesn’t show up in disk management.
any ideas?
