I'm guessing that you're working on a Windows system and not a Mac.
My first question was already asked, will it connect to another pc?
Have you tried plugging into a different USB port on your system? Sometimes a USB port can die. You could also try another USB cable if you haven't already.
Does the drive actually power up and spin? You should be able to feel it vibrate and/or hear it humming. Presumably there is a power led on the unit somewhere.
And does the system still show the drive as connected, and you can't access it? Or the drive designation is not even showing up when you look at your drive list. (assuming Windows machine again.) |
