| 473390 | 2006-07-25 10:25:00 | A solution that I found and worked for me 1st time... note this was an external HD on a PC, not a laptop (but It looks like you've got both, just not clear if the problem was on your laptop or PC). Unplug external HD, switch off computer and REMOVE a/c power cord (not sure what you'd do if a laptop!!). Leave unplugged for at least 30 minutes (I left it overnight). Switch on comp as normal and hopefully Windows will recognise HD. Apparently it's something to do with 'residual voltage' in the motherboard/bios... or that's what they say :) |
