Hi John,To make sure if the driver for the device is missing or corrupt and not loaded properly, I would suggest you to get back to us with the Device status shown in the device manager. Refer to these steps:. Press Windows key + X, select Device manager. Locate the Device. Check if there is a yellow exclamation mark or a red cross mark over it.

I did exactly as you directed but let device manager do its thing to find a driver.

Not sure where it found it but suspect it was somewhere in the op system.I had installed the WD Universal but after I had already upgraded from 7 to 8.1. I had all my files backed up to the device so damn glad I do not have to go back to win 7 just to retrieve the files. I was immediately able to access the device and all ofmy files.

You SO ROCK.Just as an FYI, there were 2 items that had the exclamation marks, one was the 'mass storage device controller' and trying to install drivers did nothing. I believe it was error code 31 and said it probably did not resolve the problem. You want to updatethe other item under 'Other devices' = Unknown device and when I chose that one and let it go wherever it needed, Viola. I am now going to copy everything, compressed to Onedrive and upgrade to 10.Wish me luck!A very happy Dell 1745 (unsupported for 10) camper. Thank goodness I have a new Surface Pro to fall back on but I love the 17' screen on the Dell.

Everything else so far is working superbly.Teri.
