My external hard drive is not showing up in my computer. It shows up in Hardware Manager though. Any way for me to still use it?
 
While it is plugged in go into Disk Management and assign it a drive letter. Most likely it got signed a drive letter from another component and they are conflicting.

edit: sorry it is computer management
