It is important to note that when you attach a new Hard Drive to any External Enclosure (like Mvix), you have to make sure to Partition and Format it, in order to make your system to recognize the new device.
Assuming that your HDD is already formatted and partitioned and your PC still does not assign a drive letter, attempt the following "work around"
If the new volume appears in Disk Management, specify a different drive letter for the new device or volume. To do this, follow these steps:
- Right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.
- Under Computer Management (Local), click Disk Management.
- In the list of drives in the right pane, right-click the new drive and then click Change Drive Letter and Path(s).
- Click Change, and in the drop-down box, select a drive letter for the new drive that is not assigned to a mapped network drive.
- Click OK, and then click OK again.
- Both the mapped network drives and the recently installed drive should appear in Windows Explorer.
