Windows 7 wont play music on my external harddrive

[taxidermi]

Hi everyone,

I recently got a new laptop, a Dell Vostro 1520 with Windows 7. I'm in the process of transferring all my files from my old laptop to the new one and while setting up my Zune software I realized it wouldn't play any of my music that I keep in my external harddrive. I've tried to play my music on Windows Media Player as well and I'm having no luck there as well. Can anyone help me out?

Hi and welcome

can you type device manager in search. go to the sound tab. Is your soundcard/chipset listed? does it have a yellow triangle on it? Are there any "unknown" devices with yellow on them?
