Windows only sees part of external USB drive.
I have a new 1 Tb. Western Digital hard drive in a Rosewill USB/eSATA enclosure that I want to use for back up.
When I turn on the enclosures power switch I see an icon in the taskbar and when I hover the mouse pointer over it it says 'Safely remove hardware and eject media'.
However, when I right click on it I get a box that says 'Open device and printers'.
I click on that and the Device and Printers page opens but is empty. I have tried to find the USB device but it doesn't show up anywhere.
I'm worried that I can damage my motherboard or back up drive if I just keep turning the power off.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
