    Hello! A few months ago, I bought a 1TB external hard drive for storage and it has been working without any problems until now. I have tried to access the contents only to find out that I cannot access them on File Explorer, or via a shortcut on my desktop.When I went to see if it just wasn't connected properly, I found out that while my laptop does recognize the hard drive the hard drive itself gives off a blue light if connected, I just can't access or modify it. I have been the only one that has been using it.Any help?

    :)

    windows 10 does not acknowledge my external hard drive

    Original title: Mike Rytell

    Why is it that windows 10 does not acknowledge my external hard drive?

    It list it in the control panel, but will not open it up.

    And when I look in file explorer, and go to this PC, it is not listed in devices.
