Please do the following to rescan for newly connected eSATA devices:

The Computer Management window appears. From the list on the left side of the window, select

device manager.

On the right side of the window, there will be a list of devices. Right click on your computer; it

should be at the very top, and then select Scan for hardware changes.

Wait for the scan to complete and then check the

my computer screen again to see if the

Kanguru QSX has been recognized by the computer. The QSX may appear as one or two hard

drives depending on the storage mode it is set in.

If your computer still cannot recognize the Kanguru QSX, the computer may need to be restarted.
