    External HD Not Recognize


    Hello, I have a Windows 7 Professional x64.. My Problem is that my external hard disk mass storage cannot be detected,i cant see the mass storage of my external drive in device management and disk management. Instead there is one that is detected "ASMT 2105 USB Device" yet it is 0 bytes and i cant access, it says insert disk..yet i connected the external drive on my computer. my external drive is Toshiba 3.0

    Hoping for your replies and learn what to do, because i have so many important files in my external hard drive. thank you!!

    Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
    Shut down your machine = Power off.
    Disconnect the external,
    Power up and after login reconnect it into a different usb port,
    Make sure the external if it has a power switch it is on as well,
    Cheers.
