Hello there, I am facing the same issue with my 2tb WD Elements portable drive. My laptop reconizes the hard drive but its not showing in my laptop i tried every thing but still no soln. Thank you! I appreciate you responding to my inquiry. The light remains solid, and I can hear the soft spinning sound. I know my USB ports are working because it recognizes my other devices. It was working fine day before yesterday, but when I connected it to my computer yesterday, my Mac would not recognize it.

A Windows PC cannot see, read, write to that file system.It seems to lose contact with my computer, an HP laptop running Windows 7 prescribed by the University I work with.
