You mean, it's not listed there?Are you able to try the external USB hard drive on another computer
to verify it is operating properly?Sorry about the capitals, thank you for speedy replies. No other computer to try, and yes it wasn't listed, under th USB ports said unrecognised.
However PROBLEM has been solved, after several REBOOTS overnight finally gave up and went to bed at about 3 am,. This morning started up and everything is back to normal. Must have been Gremlins very strange but I am very relirvedMiracle happens
