Hello all,
I'm hoping I can get some help with this: A few hours ago, I connected a hard drive to my PC. I was able to read/write to it just fine. In fact, I've used it various times in the past.
I just tried connecting it again now, and the drive is not showing up on Windows 8.1 at all. It's not being detected.
I connected the drive to a Mac to see if it was the drive, but it wasn't: the Mac was able to read it just fine.
I've had a similar situation in the past with this machine, where my iPhone was, seemingly out of nowhere, no longer recognized by the system. Plugging it in would register on the phone, but the PC wouldn't acknowledge its existence.
I'm completely at a loss as to why this can be. Other drives connect to the PC just fine (in fact, I have another one connected now, as I write this, backing up some data). Any help is appreciated.
TIA.
EDIT: I hope this is the right forum for this question. It sounds like it might be a driver issue, hence my guess. If I'm wrong, my apologies.
