Why can't I access my USB hard drive? It says 'not found' despite being plugged in.

It may be plugged in but it needs to be configured in setup.ampedwireless.com. Once into the menu, select "More Settings". There you will see an option for "USB storage" and under that there are two choices: "Local Sharing" and FTP Server". Select "Local Sharing". There make sure the drive is recognized. If it is them make sure the workgroup matches your windows workgroup. If you don"t know what workgroup to assign then see : http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/join-or-create-a-workgroup I hope this helps.

You need to map the drive on your computer so that it can be accessible from anywhere in your local network.

Try another drive. If it recognizes a different drive, it is not an issue with the adapter and is likely a bad drive.

As I answer, remember... my hard drive got wiped. Make certain you switch your hard drive to "slave" status if you haven't already. Otherwise, you should be OK.

There will be nothing on the hard drive left. Its wiped clean. You'll have to reinstall with new software.

Sorry, butI do't know iMac...Sometime I've the same problem with my HD, resolved with Disk Utility Repair Permissions or or Disk.If in Disk Utilities you don't see the disk, find to link the disk with an USB 2/3 cable with a termination like GoFlex..

USB visible in the middle of the box, it is very too small to find out, but you can find it, just check it carefully

In my case, it's plug &play. I suggest you proceed via My files and tap on the usb drive. Good luck.

It may be that you need to use a powered usb hub, if that doesnt work I would, if you havent already, google the problem and see if other users are experiencing issues or if it is just you

Not in my experience. When I plugged the hard drive into my pc, it didn't even show up in my list of devices.

Drive is powered by the computer (device) it is attached to. There is not external power or plug to attach one.

I have tried several flash drives in the two USB ports but they do not show up on the computer.

Are you using the proper power supply. I was cleaning rearranging my desktop, and inadvertently plugged the power supply from my modem into the laCie drive. It had enough power to turn the light on, but not enough to actually run the drive. I HAVE had a couple issues with my drive. The USB port now routinely disconnects for not apparent reason. Makes it difficult to copy large files.

Hello April, unfortunately there could be several reasons. To ensure the drive is actually working, can you hear the discs spinning? You should be able to tell if it is there would be a slight hum. If you are sure the drive works, and it does not show up on your computer, I would start by leaving it plugged in and then restarting your computer. Sometimes you have to clear the system's memory. If that does not work try a different USB port. My computer has one that doesn't work and I found out by accident. Depending on what operating system you are running, i.e. Windows 7, Windows 8, etc you can go to the device manager and see if the drive shows up under "HDD". If it does and you still cannot access the files there may be something wrong with the drive itself. Was this a working drive that you had used before? I'm sorry if I am not much help, I am trying to think of all the things I try on my pc. Please let me know. and Good Luck!

Did you replace your hard drive. I am interested in doing the same thing. Thanks!!

The drive could be damaged or there may not be enough power. There is an extra power cable, almost looks like an audio aux cable, it plugs into the IDE/SATA connector. Also try the driver CD that came with it. Your PC may not be installing the drivers automatically. Hope this helps
