Just got a new laptop today but I am already disappointed that I cant get my external HDD to connect. I have searched google and have not found a solution yet. The only time I managed to get it to connect is when I plugged it in via a powered USB hub but I need it to connect on it's own, surely the USB ports can power it on their own.
It doesn't show up in disk management but it does show up when I go into device manager > Disk Drives, but it shows as a hidden device.
Can you help me?
My laptop is the Toshiba Satellite L50-A01Q.
