HDD not apearing in my computer

Question

I can see my extrnal HDD in bios and in device manager but it doesn't apear in my computer, anyone with an idea?

Answer 1

That's perfectly normal and doesn't indicate a problem. Hard drives never appear under My Computer. Only media devices and mounted filesystems (local or network) with assigned drive letters appear there.

Think of the chaos that would result if a hard drive appeared under My Computer. Say the drive had two filesystems on it. If you dragged a file there, which filesystem would it go on? If you double-clicked on it, which filesystem would open?

You can manage hard drives from Disk Management.
