Hello Gabriel,

Thanks for posting your question on the forum of the Microsoft community.

I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

1. What is the brand and model of your laptop?
2 have you tried to connect the player to another computer?

I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue.

This problem can occur for the following reasons:

-The USB driver is maybe damaged.
-Corrupted registry keys can be the cause of problems with the connection to your external hard drive.

I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

Method 1:
Run this Microsoft fixit and check.
Reference:
Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows
http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems

If this does not help, then use method 2.

Method 2:
Please use the suggestions contained in this Microsoft Knowledge base article and check the issue.
Reference:
My drive does not appear in Windows Explorer
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/330140

Note: Serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  • SSD external via USB does not start by default

    Hello Apple community.

    I have a problem with my new external SSD. Given that the base model Mac Mini end of 2014 comes with a disk HARD 5400 RPM drive, I wanted to go to an SSD without having to tear the whole unit. I wanted to exhaust the option 'boot from USB' and I'm having a strange problem. I cloned my Mac to the new drive SSD and slapped in a box set of the speaker. I connected via USB and changed my 'startup disk' to use the external SSD drive. However, it does not start on this unit automatically. When I reboot and discovers the "boot manager" I see the USB being initialized automatically. After disconnection / re - plug the drive in, it appears as a boot option. Once it is initialized, everything works fine and I can boot into El Capitan without any problem using the SSD.

    I am trying to find a way that I can get the Mac to initialize the SSD to the boot upward and choose default. I don't want to have to re - connect the drive whenever I want to start on the SSD drive... Any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

  • Windows 8 can't find my SATA drive (2). It does not appear in disk management, but it appear when I open the tab of properties on any drive and click displays all disks. What should do?

    I bought a new computer (custom build) and Frys Electronics put it together for me.  Disk 0 is a 128 GB SSD, 1 disk is a SATA 2 TB drive, and disc 2 is a 1 TB SATA drive. Readers of 0 and 1 have been configured correctly when I installed Windows 8 but Drive 1 was not found\initialized. Player 2 does not appear in the disk management window, but when I click on properties on any drive, and then on the "hardware" tab, the drive appears.  If I can get windows to find it, I can go configure manually.  DiskPart cannot find disc 2 in the 'LIST' command and when I get in car 2 on other commands that require a number of disc, nothing happens.

    What should I do?

    Thank you.

    I ran an old Western Digital (the two SATA drives are WD) diagnosis and there are 1 OK to drive.  I tested it and it doesn't have a writing that test a few zeros.  I thought that it was a bad drive and I must return to the seller.  The next morning I tried the WD diagnosis again and this time he passed.  The app then allowed me to format it and it assign a drive letter.

    It seems to be OK now, but I'm not load all the files on it again.

    Thank you all for your support.

    Not quite sure what type of advice that you expect from this community, but according to the information displayed in your original post, there is certainly a problem of related material and there is only one solution: need to replace defective parts. This can be done by technicians available in your country.
