WD Black not recognized

Hello, I attached a 2TB black drive via USB to my Windows 7 laptop. It shows up under devices and printers, but it doesn’t show up under My Computer or when I Disk Management from Computer Management. Please help me.

Hello,

I recommend you to connect the drive directly to the SATA port in your computer to determine if you are having issues with the WD Black hard drive or the USB/SATA connector…

Hi,

Yes, you need to connect your drive internally with SATA and power cable. If it was still inaccessible then you need to take help of data recovery software for recovering your desired files, folders, audios etc.
