When your hard drive is displaying as RAW, or it shows as "*Others" in Disk Management, it means that your hard drive contains a file system error. In this case, the best solution is to format the drive to a supported file system (Format Hard Drive to NTFS). Here is how to do it:

Step 1. In Windows 10/8, Press Windows + X keys, click "Disk Management".

In Windows 7, right-click the Start icon, select "Search". Type disk management and click on it.

Step 2. Find and right-click on your hard drive, select "Format".

Step 3. Set the file system as NTFS, tick "Perform a quick format", and click "OK" to start formatting the drive.

Hi Roger F. Wells

I'm sorry to hear the bad news, Mostly, when your external hard drive fails to show up on windows, first, connect your new hard drive correctly to your computers.

Then, you can pick an appropriate fix to make your external hard drive show up on PC and work normally again:

#Fix 1. Change USB Cable/USB Port and Reconnect External Hard Drive
#Fix 2. Format External Hard Drive to NTFS/exFAT
#Fix 3. Reinstall External Hard Drive Disk Driver
#Fix 4. Update Universal BUS Controller Drivers
So, the solutions are quite clear now. Just follow the right method to make your new hard drive detectable and show up on your computer again.

Question 4
