Hello,
Check first if your external drive is detected by your BIOS.
If it is the case, try this:
Click on Start --> Run ---> type diskmgmt.msc and click on OK.
Right-click on WD Passport Drive --> Select "Change Drive Letter and Paths..." --->
Click on "Add" button ---> Select your drive letter and click on OK.
Note : If the drive letter is already assigned, then try changing the drive letter
by clicking on "Change" button instead of "Add" button in the above step.
If the solutions above does not work, think to change the cable of the drive.
Good Luck!
If you don't know where you go, get back where you come.......
