Hello,

I can't access my USB external HDD via 'explorer' although 'Device Manager' says its working properly. other USB divices are similarly invisible.

Any ideas please

hi there,

right click on my computer>

manage>

disk management>

you will find it there

if not then change the usb connection cable

this should fix this issue ,use a 2.0 usb cable

Thanks
