So I have this semi-old western digital external hard drive. the only ports it has are a USB and Ethernet port. I plugged them both into my PC, but my PC won't find it. It appears as a unknown device in the device manager. How can I make it correct properly?

(also, is that zotac GTX 770 any good?http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500301 )
 
Solution
You can try plugging it in different usb ports, quite possible the usb board is shot and it is just not going to work. You can search for any specific driver/software for that external.
