If you are not to sure how : Click Start, in the search type in Computer Management - Select it and open, then click on Disk Management. Scroll down the list - if the USB drive is there, make sure its got a Drive letter ( sometimes windows wont give it one, and if it hasn't then it wont show) If its showing as being there but hasn't got a letter, right click the drive, " Change Drive Letter and Paths", Assign it a letter ( doesn't matter what) and it will appear as normal. You'll get a warning just click Yes to carry on. I've a done a VERY quick and rough Video to show how ( link below) - The USB drive attached had a letter already of G , but I simply changed it to H. Its done on a W10, but apart from that its exactly the same. The search is bottom Left hand corner. Changing or assigning a Drive Letter (screencast.com). IF its not showing at all in Disk management then theres a connection problem on the laptop. Absolutely Brilliant. Thankyou (yet again), both portable drives now recognised. I feel safe enough to carry on with M's backup. I think!!! PJ |
