How I can get a USB portable Hard Drive to work?
I bought a verbatim USB portable hard disk to store information in my old PC with Windows XP to my new PC with Windows 7. I can not get the USB hard drive to show on both pc. It shows a blue light on but will not otherwise nothing.
several possibilities: A) only has a USB cable, and more energy. Try a USB port on the back of the computer. B) has been damaged. Will have to format. Here is the manual http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/format-usb-ntfs/ C) is dead.
