Laptop Wont Read My Passport For Mac

This is my first post in these forums. Though have been a regular reader. I recently got a new Asus Transformer 16Gb with dock and have been very pleased with the performance. I have a WD my passport SE 1TB externall hdd. I use it to store mostly music / movies etc. The WD hdd came with Smartware etc on the drive.

My Passport shows up in Device manager but not file explorer. I have now assigned a drive to the external drive using Diskpart and it now shows up in file explorer but tells me the drive is empty (it is not and I can access the files from a Mac). Can anyone tell me how to make windows 10 see my files? Hello Jenny, To show the files that are saved on the drive, please follow the steps below: • Open the My Passport drive. • Click View, then check Hidden items. • See if the files will be shown.

Let us know how it goes. Thanks for your suggestion, sorry that it did not work. I just realised that when I look at the Passport Drive in Device manager it is Disk 1. When I look in Disk Management Disk 1 has 3 partitons and each is shown separately list volumes in Diskpart. I selected the largest volume to assign a drive letter but really I cannot select the whole of Disk 1 as one volume. Will this be causing the problem?

Thanks for your help. To further assist you, please provide us a screenshot of your Disk Management. Kaspersky for mac reviews. You may also try and check if you are able to unhide the drive from command prompt. A) Type CMD in Start menu search area and hit Enter to launch Command Prompt b) In the Command Prompt, type Diskpart and hit enter key.

Click Yes if you are prompted with UAC (User Account Control) dialog-box. C) And then type List Volume and hit enter to see list of all drives. D) Select the volume number for which you want to assign a drive letter and show in the explorer. Type Select Volume e) Once selected, type Assign Letter and hit Enter key to see the drive in explorer.
