Hello,

Try this 1

1) First connect your portable Hard Drive.

2) Click on Start --> In search bar, type devmgmt.msc and press Enter.

"Device Manager" will be opened.

Expand "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" --> Now right-click on "USB Mass

Storage\USB Device" --> Select "Uninstall" --> Click on OK --> Restart your PC.

Good Luck

Are you using the same USB data cable that came with your portable hard drive? Also check your USB data cable. Also let us know your portable hard drive brand name and model number.
