Transferring data from one external hard drive to another ex
Posted: Sun Apr 20, 2014 5:56 pm
I thought this would be easy but for some reason I am having problems. I just want to transfer all the data from one WD external hard drive to another WD external hard drive.
I connected both of them to my laptop and I thought it would be a simple matter of opening both drives up and copy and pasting. But when I open up MY Computer, it only sees the hard drive I plugged in first? I don't know how to find the second one?
What am I doing wrong? Or is there a better way to transfer data from one hard drive to another?
I am running windows 8 if it makes any difference?
Thanks for any help!
