1-Connect your hard drive.
2-Go to device manager.
3-Connect your PC to Internet.
4-Update your software by right click on the troubleshooting problem in device manager.
5-Install it.

Problem solved.

OR you can try to re-install your usb driver.

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!
