hard disk won't detect

[Barry220]

hey guys, my external hard drive wont show on my computer when i connect, but i can hear the sound when i connect the hard drive. it wont even show in disk management but it is visible in open drivers and printers. even though it is not visible in mypc i can still eject the hard drive in the task bar

Try going in Disk Management and see if it's shown in there.

Real story here, 2TB HDD won't detect on PC.

 

Run memory diagnostic, and boom it came up in disk management. As much as it sounds stupid, but it did happen.
