How come my computer does not recognize my external hard drive?
by Guest Geek on October 14, 2009Q: My FreeGate external hard drive was plugged into my computer. I ejected it but the icon never left my screen. I tried clicking on it but there was nothing so I figured that it was just disconnected as I had asked it to do. But when I took the cord out it said that I had not disconnected it properly erand that some data could have been lost. Now, my computer doesn’t recognize my hard drive anymore. What can I do to fix this?
