| | Unable to access external DVD/SATA drive I recently backed up some DVD's on my system. Now I can no longer access my external hard drive or DVD recorder. It does not appear in Computer or in the device manager. I have reinstalled windows, but they still do not appear. Yet, when I plug in my Flash Drive, it recognizes it. I have a Toshiba, Satellite P105. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. |
