Hello!

My Lacie external is not showing up on my desktop but is showing up on my laptop. On my desktop's Disk Management, it shows up as healthy but it doesnt show up in My Computer.

Anyone know how to fix this?

From Disk Management on your desktop (where it's not showing in My Computer), mark your Lacie drive's partition as Active. If it still doesn't work, try connecting it directly to your motherboard on the back (if you were using front I/O to begin with).
And make sure any driver software for the drive, if required, is installed on your desktop.

Thanks for posting.

Tried all your methods and it still wont show up. It shows up in Disk Management and even in my new downloaded Hard Drive Manager but not in My Computer.

I also tried to format but there is no way to do this in Disk Management nor in the Hard Drive Manager.

Anyone else know how to fix this?
