Western Digital 120gb hdd not recognized by windows

by claytoncmk . Updated 18 years, 3 months ago

hi all,

i am using western digital 120gb external harddisk. when i connect it to my computer, there’s a blue light at the side of the hdd showing that it is connected to the pc. but on my pc, it isn’t registering on “my computer”. when i look for it under “device manager” , i can locate it as ” usb mass storage device “. having browsed through this forum itself, there’re advices on re-mapping the drive under ” disk management ” . when i went there, the drive is not registered there. all i see is my com’s built in hard disk, as well as it’s partition.

any way to salvage this situation? really precious because all my files are stored inside the hard disk since my laptop has little space.

this incident happened after i got my hdd back from being passed around… hmm

help anyone? thanks in advance!

cheerios,
claytoncmk
