Try to format the hard disc. First quick format and If it is not working then slow format and It should work.

I believe you need to use diskpart command to clean the disk, with the help of this command you will format your disk easily.

What operating system are you using? Not all "older' OS can support a drive that large! So if you are using XP, no good! YOu may have to switch to a different type of formatting......not MBR, but GPT.

Toshiba external hard drive not detected

Hello,

This is Rathish from India. I bought both my laptop and my external drive in UK. I am using Windows 7 Home. I bought that hard drive after 18 months. when I plugged in my HDD it's not showing up d icon of the HDD. This one happens after connecting into my cousin's computer. Actually, Toshiba HDD's will turn into white color from Blue when it's plugged into a computer, but in my case, it still glows in Blue, so I don't know what is the exact problem of it. Can anyone help me to get rid of this one?

Thanks!
