Windows 7 - 7 Home Premium not Detecting USB Drives

| | 7 Home Premium not Detecting USB Drives I added a Vantec Internal Media Reader (UGT-CR960) and now cannot access an external USB HDD I use for system backup purposes. I have attempted to reboot the PC and disconnect / reconnect the ext USB HDD to different USB ports without success. When I plug the ext USB HDD into a port I do hear the detection chime but nothing registers within the file system. My non-Microsoft OS savy wild theory is the Vantec Media Reader may have hijacked a physical drive address/letter that the ext USB HDD once occupied. Any ideas how I might rectify my isssue? |
