Portable Hard Drive Issue

[ptim]

I have a WD 120 GB Portable HD, when I plug it in, it shows up in the Device Manager, but I cant see it in Windows Explorer.

Is it possibly sharing a drive letter with something else? Right click on my computer and choose manage. Once there go to the bottom and chose disk management. From there you can see if the disk drive is actually there.

If it is you can check the drive letter. You might right click on it and Choose drive letter and paths....

I hope this helps.

Unfortunately I don't have admin rights here. When I try to click on Disk Management, I cant see anything. But it does show up in the Device Manager.
