As the title says it’s both hidden and not hidden. When I first plugged the device in worked. I was able to transfer my files into the device. The device would have been used as a full system restore (recovery image). After I transferred the files the icon for the device disappeared from “this PC”. Though it is recognized in the device manager. I tried unplugging, uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, changed the power management in the USB root hub and resetting the PC . It still doesn’t show up. In disk management the device is there (the disk that has 3725 GB) but it has no drive assigned. When I right-click all the options are grayed out. I’m unable to assign a letter to the device. I would like to try and get it to connect again, but a factory reset would be ok too (I’ve tried to do that and was unsuccessful).
It’s a WD Element 4GB for PC Windows 8.1
