Hi there, So I have a WD essential external disk that connects to my lenovo laptop T61 running win7 via usb 2.0. It was working well and recently I do not see the external disk. I connect the disk to my other laptop and it shows up. So I wonder its the problem with T61. I want the drive to work with this T61 as it now serves as a server for the home so I need the disk connected to it.
I tried couple things without a fix:
- Restart: not work
- Check disk manager: the WD disk is not in it.
- driver update: WD essential does not have a driver to download from WD website
- usb compatibility: I do remember my wife installed an logitech camera C910 via usb 3.0, and found it other post that usb 3.0 may affect it. I unplug the usb camera and it does not help. I can try to uninstal the usb 3.0 driver but do not know which one is it from the device manager.
Please help me with this problem. Thank you!
