Are you having trouble locating your external hard drive on your Windows 10 device? Even if you have plugged it into your physical computer, it’s not showing up. Don’t worry; in this tutorial, we’ll show you how to locate your external hard drive.
The first step is to head over to the Start menu and type in “disk manager.” One of the best matches that come up should say “create and format hard disk partitions” right above control panel. Left-click on that.
For most people experiencing this problem, underneath the “volume name,” there would be nothing listed underneath the USB, or to the side of it. So, assuming it’s just a blank picture, all you would do is locate that, right-click on that drive or desk, left-click on “change drive letter and pass,” and then click on “change.” You can assign the following drive letter, or you could also add right here and down into an empty NTFS folder. But we would recommend trying to left-click on this change button and assign a drive letter to it. Then, hopefully, it’ll be discoverable by your computer.
But, again, you only want to do this if there’s nothing listed next to it. If there’s a name, this is not going to be of assistance for you. But if it’s a blank, like a hard drive, a little picture, and there’s nothing next to the picture, this tutorial should be able to help you out.
We hope this brief tutorial helped you guys out. Thank you for reading, and we’ll catch you in the next tutorial. Goodbye!
