I bought a new WD external hard drive a month ago. I used it to store several folders of files. I have not used it for a couple of weeks, plug it into my computer and it is not coming up on my. I have made sure that it is plugged in and that the cables are secure. It does beep as all usb ports do when I plug them it, but it does not show up on "my computer". Any ideas?

I just had this problem, go to Computer Management/Disk Management, and assign a drive letter to it, for some reason it doesn't automatically.
If these steps do not correct the problem, you will need to re-format your External Hard Drive ***WARNING*** FORMATTING A HARD DRIVE WILL ERASE, YOU WILL LOSE, ALL DATA
