The Issue

The drive is not
recognized.

Questions to Ask

Is the drive’s power on?

Does an icon for the drive appear
on the computer?

Are all of the cables connected
securely and correctly?

Are both ends of the USB cable
connected and properly seated?

Possible Solutions

Check to see that all of the power cords are properly
connected and that the switch on the rear of the drive is
turned on. If you are using a surge protector, make sure that
it is switched on, too.

Check for an icon on the Desktop (on a Mac) or in My
Computer

(on a PC).

Make sure that all the steps in section 2. Getting Connected
have been followed correctly. Examine the connections
carefully to ensure that all the cables are inserted in the
correct orientation and in the correct location.

Check both ends of the USB cable. Disconnect them, wait 10
seconds, and reconnect them. If the drive is still not
recognized, restart your computer and try again.
