Windows 10: Windows 11 showing 2tb seagate expansion in device manager but not in file manager

Hello. I have had a Seagate 2tb expansion for a few years now and it has been used for my Xbox, I recently bought a computer, and when I plug the HDD in it makes a sound, and I go to files and it just doesn't appear. I went to settings to try connect a new device and nothing showed, and I checked device manager and it appeared. I attempted to update disk drives but it said there was no update, what do I do? The model is STEA2000400 if needed.

external hard drive showing up in device management but not disk management

Hi,

I recently tried to use a brand new Seagate 2TB External HD, but it is not showing up. It initially showed up, but after I tried reformatting it to exFAT32, it disappeared from the disk management list.

I then tried:

• refreshing the disk management list,
• inserting into a different USB port,
• re-starting my computer, and
• uninstalling the device from device manager/letting it refresh,

I still can't see it. There is no yellow error in the USB controller list.

I'm on Windows 10.

Intel i5-3317U @ 1.7GHz

Any suggestions? Thanks!

 

HDDs attached to PCIe SATA expansion card not showing in Windows 11 Device Manager or Disk Management

Three hard drives are connected to 3 SATA ports on a PCIe SATA expansion card on an ASUS ProArt Z690 Creator motherboard, with Windows 11 Pro, and I don't see those drives in the Device Manager. I want to assign letters to each of these 3 hard drives and make use of them. In the Device Manager I find my 4 NVMe SSDs and one Western Digital HDD listed under Disk Drives. The active SATA ports on the motherboard are occupied by three optical drives and one Hdd. The other three HDDs connected to the SATA ports on the PCIe expansion card are not listed under Disk Drives. However in the Device Manager listed under "Other devices" are four PCI devices. R click on the PCI devices show PCI bus 0, and device 21 for all, and for each is shown funct 0, funct 1, funct2, and funct5. It says there are no compatible drivers for these PCI devices, no manufacturer is listed, so could these be the three HDDs attached to the SATA ports on the PCIe SATA expansion card? How can I discover the three HDDs attached to the SATA expansion card in Windows 11, and how can I get them listed as Disk Drives, and how can I find drivers for them, and how can I assign a letter to each of those HDDS and make use of the drives? Thank you.
