Steph1981 0 Posted July 18, 2009 Hope somebody can help me. It's an "old" topic. Have a 3 year old WD Passport and it worked fine so far. It's formatted to NTFS. I gave it to a friend to copy some of my stuff from the drive. She has Vista on her laptop, I have XP. Since then whenever I connect the drive to my laptop it is recognised but I cannot find it. It is not in "My Computer" or in explorer. The only way to find it is through the device manager. It doesn't have a drive letter allocated either. I am not an IT-pro but i guess there is a prob with the driver. Tried several things to get an updated driver but nothing worked. To be honest I don't really care about the drive anymore but about the stuff on it. Is there any way I can retrieve the data? For any help I would be really grateful. Share this post Link to post
DosFreak 2 Posted July 18, 2009 Right-click on "My Computer" and go to "Manage", go to Disk Management. Right-click on the partition of your drive and assign it a drive letter. Share this post Link to post
