Hello, I have a Simpletech Simpledrive External Hard drive. It works on my desktop running xp. When I connect to my Asus N56DP Laptop, I hear the binging and all. But I do not see it in my control panel. I can see it in the device manager. Not in Disc MAnagement. Is there something I can do to get it to install and be accessible? I have some race car pictures I would like to post to Facebook.
Oh yeah, when I run the troubleshooter, it see a problem but cannot correct it.
Thank you in Advance!
Blessings

It most likely does not have a drive letter assigned to it, please check again in your disk mgmt and see if there are drives with no letters.

If you can attach a screen cap of your disk management we can verify if it is or is not being recognized.
