External hard disks are commonly used by people for backing up data. However, these disks are prone to problems just like any other drive. One of the issues associated with external hard disks is that of External Hard Disk Not Detected. This issue is caused when the external hard drive is not recognized when you plug it into your system. If this problem isn’t resolved quickly, you might face the possibility of losing all the data that has been stored on this external hard drive.
The possible reasons for this issue can be physical damage, outdated Windows driver, bad sectors, etc. If trying another computer can’t solve this problem, you are highly suggested to send your drive to a device repair services. Before recovering data from external hard drive not detected, you need to fix this issue and go on.
1. Does the Drive Show Up in Disk Management?
Plug in your external removable disk into the system making sure that its power switch is on. The next order of business is opening a tool called Disk Management. You can do this by typing diskmgmt.msc in the dialog box that appears after pressing R key along with the windows key.
Your external drive can be found in the window of Disk Management even if it doesn’t appear anywhere else. If you are able to locate the external drive in here, format it so it becomes accessible to Windows but if you can’t locate it then try to find out why Windows isn’t recognizing it.
2. Making Windows Recognize the Drive
A dead drive, a Windows driver issue or a malfunctioning USB port can be the reasons if your external drive isn’t recognized anywhere by Windows. Try connecting the external drive into a different USB port on the system. A hardware issue with the USB port might be the reason if the external drive works in the other USB port. Moreover, you should try unplugging the drive from a USB hub and directly into the system if you are using a USB hub for connecting your external drive to the computer.
You might have a driver issue or your drive might be at fault if you can’t locate your external drive into Disk Management after having changed the USB port and eliminating the USB hub. To find this for sure, plug your drive into a different computer system. If it can’t be located there even in the Disk Management window then your drive is probably at fault.
A driver issue is most likely the case if your external drive is recognized by other computers. The Device Manager can be used to test this theory. Open Device Manager by hitting Enter after typing ‘devmgmt.msc’ in the Run dialog box which can be opened by clicking R key with Windows key.
Driver issues can be detected by looking for yellow exclamation marks in front of devices in the Disk drives menu. To see the error message select Properties after right-clicking the devices that have yellow exclamation marks. Search this error message on Google to find out how to fix it.
Running System Restore is an option if the issue is a recent one. Other available options include reinstalling the driver after uninstalling it, revert changes using Roll Back Driver option or updating the driver using the Update Driver option.
