    Mounting an external hdd drive

    I plug my external hdd drive into my usb port but it doesn't show on my desktop. How do I fix this. I am using a seagate 500gb which used to show on my desktop. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    your usb port may not provide enough power for it to run, try using the power supply with your drive.
