Got this Ext HD, plugged in and connected as per the instruction's. The pc makes its usual sound to denote something has been connected, it tells me its found a mass storage device, but thats all i can get out of it.
I cannot find it listed in my computer, its not in the computer management area either. It doesnt require drivers, obviously, so how do i go about making it visible ?
It's a multimedia HD designed to be connected to a television but obviously you need content on the HD in order to play files on the tv in the first place.
Advice asap would be much appreciated
Thanks

Try right clicking my computer and click manage.. then click disk management...
See if you can see it in there, it might be unformatted / partitioned.
Tried that last night before posting. It mentions doing so in the manual but it doesnt appear in disc management. It does need formatted, into FAT32, but i cant see how that can be done if you cant see the drive via the PC
Have a look in there to see if it is there, and possible might show you if it missing any drivers.
Always worth a check to look at the device manager and see if the HDD is there.
