I just bought a Western Digital My Book 500GB external hard drive. I am connecting with USB 2.
I am using a Dell laptop and when I plug it in I have no problems the drive shows up in My Computer.
But when I plug it into a different machine at the office it won't show up in my computer. I know it's connected and working properly and I checked the drivers and they are current on the desktop.
This drive is for our backups so it's really important that it's up and running but I have no idea why it won't show up in my computer, I can't save a backup to it if the machine doesn't see it in my computer. When I go to Device manager it sees it just fine. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
