  1. Check that the hard drive is plugged in correctly.

  2. Verify that the hard drive’s current power source is properly connected and powered on.

  3. Check your laptop’s USB ports to make sure they are working.

  4. If the hard drive shows up in your laptop’s Device Manager, then you should be able to access it.
