1400748 2015-05-15 02:50:00 My laptop, Acer Gateway NE56R , ran the Win update this morning and now my USB Hard Drive is not being recognised. If I click on it, nothing happens even if I leave it to run for over three hours. Any ideas what might need fixing please ? Swampy (2426)
1400749 2015-05-15 03:00:00 And what update did you install? If you think the update caused it, uninstall it

I would look in event viewer. See if any errors appeared for it here. And look in device manager. Does it appear here?? If it does dbl click on it. What does it say?

Does the drive show in device manager or disk management?

Have you tried another cable? Does the HDD power light (if any) come on? Do you hear it spinning?
