Hey guys,
My laptop stopped recognizing WD Passport with a letter drive in Explorer. The device was listed as working properly in Device Manager. After calling the tech support, they were really helpful in solving my problem with following steps:
  • 1. Explorer - right click on Computer - Manage
  • 2. Disk Management in left window
  • 3. In lower portion of middle window find your external drive (maybe Disk 1). Try disconnecting and reconnecting USB cable to identify if having difficulties.
  • 4. Right click inside a white rectangular block - Change Drive Letter
  • 5. Assign a different letter (ex: P)

Should be visible in the Explorer as new letter drive.

Good luck.
