    Computer doesn't detect external Hard Drive


    I use 3 computers, in one that has Windows Seven and other Xp, the computer detects the external hard drive with no problem
    But in another Windows Seven pc, it doesn't detect it at all, the hard drive makes a clicking sound and nothing else

    So, what can it be?, I even connect it to a TV and can watch movies with no problem, but being detected in that computer, never

    Do other external drives work with that PC?

    Does that external drive appear in Windows Disk Management? If it does, does it have a drive letter assigned? If not assign a drive letter.
