My laptop wont recognize external hard drive

Hello,
my laptop wont recognize external hard drive

Is the hard drive portable or non-portable? If non portable, did you use the AC adapter?

Try to right click on Computer, select Manage, and Disc Management. Does the hard drive show up in there?

Please provide more info so others can help you.
