Windows 7 can't detect my external hard drive
Hi,
Wondered if you guys can help me out.
I've spent most of the day trawling through this forum trying to look for an answer to my problem to no avail.
I have tried the following links:

https://www.sevenforums.com/hardware-devices/49858-windows-7-failing-pick-up-external-hard-drive.html
and have had no luck therefore, I have decided to start a new thread....sorry
I have a Toshiba Sat Pro laptop about six months old and running with an external hard drive Western Digital My Book (works fine).
This is where my problems start.....I purchased a second hard drive to simply use as a back up for my main external hard drive (Western Digital).
The new Hard Drive is a Fujitsu Siemens Storagebird 35EV840 - 400GB. My problem is that my laptop will not recognise it at all. When I click on my computer it's just not there.
I have tried all different configurations of putting the USB into a different port / rebooting everything with no luck at all.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
