Disk Management - computer drive not showing up - HOW TO FIX external hard drive not showing up

Hi. What if the external drive has been corrupted and is not visible in Disk Management but when trying to connect, sometimes pops up in Device Manager under Hard Drives and then disappears.

My external hard drive does not show up on My Computer. I tried opening Disk Management but still my External HD is still not detected. I run DiskPart then typed, "list disk" and showed only one drive is online. Disk 0.

Hi my external drive is showing on device manager.( disk drives ).but not showing on this computer or on disk management...any idea's ?

very stupid video

you are hopeless. you suppose to tell us a way if the disk DID NOT SHOW UP IN DISK MANAGEMENT

I can see my external HD in Disk management but can't make any changes to it, only the help option is open when I right click on the HD

None of these worked for me, however I found something out that did. I took a look around Device manager and found my drive was under a section called something along the lines of (libusb0) 32win, all I had to do was uninstall the device and there should be a check box to delete the software with it, do that and it should work.

My USB hard drive lights up when I plug it in, but is not detected by the computer or the disk management tool. Can this be repaired?

My problem is the drive can't be detected in the disk management. But the device manager seems to detect it. However it doesn't show up or open in any way.

Thanks helped alot

Hi Serge, I had trouble getting my Toshiba external drive to show up and was following instructions on other sites that advised me to do something with a partition yet after following the instructions, my files were deleted. How can I get these files back?

Serge, good day, I plugged in my external and can't find it in either the disk management or the device manager. Its a seagate 1 TB I purchased from costco, I have it in a usb port that reads other drives. Its plugged in with the light on. Currently in a location where replacing cable is difficult, or trying in another computer, but ill see what I can find around here. Im also getting the chime when I plug it in. I am currently on a 2017 razor blade gtx 1060 (by the way is having screen flickering issues as well when it runs for long periods of time). Thanks for any help! Greatly appreciated.
