I recently upgraded my old computer that ran Vista to an all in one that runs Windows 8. I have a 1tb Hammer MoreSpace external hard drive that I stored all of my pictures and music on that I am trying to connect to my new machine. while when I look to see what devices are connected, I see the Hammer storage, and it says all of the drivers are installed.

However, when I try to access the data, it doesn't appear that there is a drive connected. I've gone to the Hammer website to see if I need to download additional drivers, but cannot locate anything that appears to apply to my hard drive.

I tried that, but the drive for the external drive is not recognized such that I can select it and view the data. it does show up as a device but i'm not able to access it.
