  2. HP Pavilion Laptop not seeing External Hard Drives connected to Modem on Network

    Hi Andy,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    As you are unable to access external hard drives connected to the modem on Network, this might be an issue with settings for device to discover.

    I suggest you to try the below and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Turn on network discovery.

    • Press Windows key, type sharing and click on Manage advanced sharing settings.
    • Under Private, Network discovery, check mark the option
      Turn on network discovery.

    Step 2: If the issue still persists, run HomeGroup troubleshooter
    and check.

    HomeGroup troubleshooter finds and fix problems with viewing computers or shared folders in a HomeGroup.

    • Press Windows key, type troubleshooting and select it.
    • Click on View all in the left pane and click on HomeGroup.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.

    Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue to assist you further.

    Hi Deepika,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Unfortunately, this has not fixed it. The settings were correct in the first part, and the Homegroup does not find any errors.

    I hope you have more suggestions for me Cannot view network drives from Laptop :)
