External Hard Drive problem
When I connect my 1TB Buffalo MiniStation to my PC, -it does not show up on 'My computer'. The 'safely remove device' option is there. The device is also visible in Disk Management. I googled around for some time and the most common solution offered by others was to assign a drive letter to the drive. I tried doing that and got an error(see attached image). I have refreshed and restarted it several times. Same result.
This has been happening since I formatted my internal C: drive. And no, the external hard drive does not require additional firmware. It works properly on my other 2 laptops(windows 7 & 8).
Help will be greatly appreciated.
