    External SSD not showing up anymore

    Hi,

    I was moving some files in my external SSD when it completely froze and windows explorer was not responding. I restarted the task and the ssd was gone.

    I turned off and on the pc, in the device manager I updated the device and scanned for hardware changes, I can see the device there, but I cannot do anything with it.

    Any suggestion?

    Thanks

    My External Toshiba DVD Drive doesn't show up

    Hi Charsmann,



    The above issue might occur if a drive letter is not allotted to the external drive.



    Please reply, did you try removing and re-plugging the driver to the PC?



    Since the drive shows in Device manager, I suggest you to remove the external drive and re-plug to check if the issue is resolved.



    If the issue persists, check if you are able to open the drive via
    Disk management
    by following the steps below:



    • Connect the external drive to the PC, press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and select
      Disk management option from the context menu. Check if the drive is visible in the window.
    • If visible, right click on the external drive and select Open. Check if you are able to open the drive in
      File Explorer.
    • Close the Disk management window, open File Explorer (Windows logo + E keys on the keyboard) and check if the changes are effective.


    Write to us with the status of the external drive not showing in File Explorer on the PC for further assistance. Your reply is important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.
