I have been using this new external Western Digital My Passport Essential 1TB USB drive for a month with my laptop. Sometimes it would just show up quickly after being plugged into one of the 4 USB ports. Sometimes it will beep for up to a minute before it show up under "My Computer" along side the C: drive.
Today, it just won't show up. I had disconnected it and reconnected it many times, each time it will beep for a while like it used to but when the beeping stops... it still wouldn't show up beside the C drive.
I've checked under Device Manager, it is there under both USB controllers(as USB mass storage device) and Disk drives(as WD My Passport 0740 USB Device).
But it is not under Disk Management, where only C drive is visible.
I am on Windows 7 Home 64bit. What can I do to make it reappear?
