External USB drives not recognized after Win 10 clean install
I just reinstalled Windows 10 Pro (newest version 2004) on my Dell i5 PC. This was a clean install to a reformatted drive C partition, part of a 240Gb SSD. I also have a second internal HD of 4Tb, which is partitioned into 4 1Tb drives.
Prior to the reinstall, both Seagate 6Tb and Seagate 5Tb external drives were seen and accessible in File Explorer and Disk Management. I have a third external WD 1Tb drive which was also connected prior to reinstall, and this drive does show up in File Explorer and Disk Management. The other internal 4 1Tb partitions all show up in File Explorer and Disk Management.
I have disconnected both the 5Tb and 6Tb drives, shut down and restarted, then reconnected drives but they are still not being detected.
Any help would really be appreciated.
