Windows 10 does not see external drive

External Usb Drive Not Recognized Windows 7

Windows 7 iso linux. If you press the windows key and type backup, then click on windows server backup, you will get the full GUI you should be able to see the external usb drive. 2012R2 is not as picky about external drives like previous versions of server. The 'USB device not recognized' error is common on Windows computers. If your computer runs on Windows XP/7/8/10, you may have come across this error after connecting an external USB device to the PC. If the error occurs, the USB device won't show up on your Windows PC.

Windows 10 Not Reading External Hard Drive

I'm connecting a 30GB Travelstar Hard Drive via an external USB 2.0 case to my Thinkpad T40 with Windows XP (pro). Windows immediately recognized it. However, the hard drive does not show up under Windows Explorer. I can go into Device Manager, click on Disk Drives, and it does show the new drive there (along with my main hard drive, which is a 80 GB hard drive).
I cannot figure out how to make it show up in Windows Explorer with an Drive Letter assigned to it and thus, how to actually use it.
I have used the windows xp install cd to format the hard drive as both FAT32 and NTFS, but Windows XP still will not recognize the hard drive when I boot up.
I have also tried going into Computer Management/Disk Management .. but the hard drive does not show up under Disk Management.
However, it does show up under Device Manager under Disk drives as a 'ICN25N030 ATDA04-0 USB Device'
Any help / suggestions / ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
