Hello,
Try some basic troubleshooting:
1- Disconnect the drive from the computer and restart the computer.
2- If the computer is a desktop, connect it on the back USB port (directly to the PC, not through a hub).
3- Make sure you hear the connection sound windows makes when recognizes a USB device.
4- Go to "Disk Management” to verify if the drive shows up there.
If the drive shows up in disk management but it is not seen on Computer, then it means the partition is corrupted and you will have to format it in order to use it again. Please note that formatting the drive will delete all data stored on it.
Hello Dear Hamlet
1-I have tried it several times in several pc and laptops
2-I dont have hub and I connected on all back and front usb ports
3-there is sound but no sign of drive
4-when opening Disk management with my passport connected it shows (((connecting to virtual disk service…))) but the page doesnt load but when I disconnect my passport the page loads .tdisk management either hangs up((NOT RESPONDING)) or loads without showing my passport.
Here are some screen shots
