Ext USB drive has drive letter but does not appear in Explorer
I use an external USB 3.0 4TB Touro (HGST disk) as backup. Lately it does not show up in Explorer. It does show up in Device Manager. I use Partition Magic and find that it does not have a drive letter anymore. Then I assign it to the letter it used to have. And it still does not show up in Explorer.
If I look at the disk in Partition Manager I can see all the directories and files but I can't access it with Explorer.
I have uninstalled it from the system and rebooted and plugged it in again. I used drivecleanup. I get the message that the driver was installed correctly and it is ready for use, but it won't show up in Explorer.
I'm running Win7 Home 64bit.
Help! Thank you.
