Good evening.
I have a WD 1 TB Passport. I use it to watch movies on my Surface 2 mostly when I travel ( a couple times a year). I plug it in and got the musical chime that it was plugged in, but file manager doesn't recognize it. I lights up and I hear/feel a motor running, nothing shows up. If I go to device manager, it shows and says it's working properly. Even when I click in the right corner to eject it, the icon shows and notifies me when its okay to eject.
How can I fix this? I've tried it on more than one device, also.

Hi ibrooks,
Can you see the device in Disk Management? Check if it has a file format and a drive letter. If it is detected in Device Manager, uninstall it and restart the PC. Plug the device back in. The drivers should be automatically reinstalled. Is it visible now? I would recommend you to check the My Passport with another USB cable. Do you have valuable data on the drive?
Hope this helps
