  3. moving my hard drive into another laptop

    Yes to all of the above, with one warning. You must do things in this order:

    1. Create your bootable disk from the site I mentioned. AFAIR it will format the disk.
    2. Back up your data to the same disk.
    3. Boot up the HP from this external disk.

    Toshiba external hard drive not recognized

    Hi Philip,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand that the external hard drive is not recognized by the PC. I appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve the issue.
    It would be great if you can answer these questions to assist you in a better way.

    • Did you try connecting the Hardrive to different USB Port?
    • Does the Hardrive get detected if you try connecting it to a different PC?
    • Are you aware of any changes made to the computer recently?

    I suggest you refer and follow the steps mentioned in the KB article and check if that resolves the issueError:
    “USB Device not recognized” when you try to access a USB external hard drive


    Note: Ignore method 2 & 5 from the above article.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards,

    Zaki
