New Seagate Expansion External Drive not showing up in 'My Computer'
Howdy,
I bought a new computer with Win7 about a month ago which came with a 1TB Seagate hard drive installed so I decided to replace my previous 250 GB Aulartek External with a 1TB Seagate External Drive.
Well ... to make a long story short I tried installing the new Seagate 1TB Expansion Drive a few hours ago but up to this point I can't get the computer to recognize it.
However, there is a 'green light' visible on the end of the new Seagate External that is lit up and if I click on the 'Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media' button on the taskbar it does show something called 'Eject Desktop' under 'Open Devices and Printers'.
I tried going to the Seagate Community Forum but got even more confused than when I started trying to troubleshoot my problem with not being able to see it listed under 'Computer'.
My old Aulartek External had an 'on and off switch' and this new Seagate doesn't have one unless I just can't find it.
I have both the USB and A/C Power supply plugged in.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
