Within the last week, my Toshiba Canvio Basics external hard drive is no longer recognized by my computer. When I plug it in, I get the beep from Windows and the drive spins up, but it doesn't show up under My Computer or Disk Management. I do see it if I look under Device Manager > Disk Drives.
My first thought was that it was a problem with the hard drive itself. However, when plugging it into my laptop, it shows up right away. I've tried every USB port (3.0 and 2.0) on my desktop, but it doesn't work. However, all of my other devices (keyboard and mouse, controller, and other external hard drive) work in each of the ports.
I am not sure on whether it is a problem with the hard drive or my desktop. Any suggestions?
