My Dell desktop operates Windows 7 Home Premium and had an initial Hard Drive of 1.5TB (7200rpm) SATA. I’m trying to install a 3TB Western Digital My Book Studio external hard drive, with which I intend to store photographs and videos. The new HDD operates via USB 3.0.
I can find the disk within Disk Management and it is flagged as being “Online”. However, the system is failing to allocate a Drive letter to the disk. I’ve tried the Microsoft solution of adding a drive letter but to no avail.
Any advice or assistance on how I can resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
