    No help at all, it's rediculious.  I have 3 brand new USB flash drives and discs Ive tried everything it does not recognize anything.   I have a  lot of stuff on this lap top I've paid for some packages and would expect it could save a back up.  NOPE  Ive spent days and ddays and im pretty good with computers.  I cant wait to go back to MAC.  I never had one problem also never had to pay for security.

    I also did run a backup on external drive. After reading this last post. I see that I needed to plug it back in and tell it to save.

    Hopefully this is the fix.

    Thanks

    Hi Giony,

    Let’s try these methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1: Uninstall and then reconnect the external hard drive

    This method resolves issues where the currently loaded USB driver has become unstable or corrupt.

    a. Press Windows Key + X, click on Device Manager.

    b. Click Disk Drives from the list of hardware.

    c. Right-click the USB external hard drive with the issue, and click Uninstall.

    d. After the hard drive is uninstalled, unplug the USB cable.

    e. Wait for 1 minute and then reconnect the USB cable. The driver should automatically load (You may also try installing latest drivers from the manufacturer’s website).

    f. Check for the USB drive in Windows Explorer.

    Method 2: Set up a drive for File History

    For more information, refer to the link.
