Hello,
Hello,
I’m having a problem and I hope I can get some help here.
I recently got an external HDD USB 3.0 (Seagate expansion).
When I plug it on a USB 3.0 port on my computer, it isn’t being detected by windows 8.1.
Disk management doesn’t see it either.
My bios detects it as a USB hard drive (after I updated it).
The thing is, my HDD is detected without any problem by Windows when it is plugged on a USB 2.0 port.
I know my USB 3.0 work fine as they detect USB keys and such.
I looked online, did all the tricks with power management and what not, but to no avail.
Now, my HDD works on USB 2.0 so I can still use it, but I was looking forward to USB 3.0 speed especially since this is a HDD for backing up pictures and music and stuff…
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My hardware details are below. Thanks!
