Hi All, I'm trying to install an External Hard Drive to my PC; operating on win 7. My PC is not finding it, its coming up as USB to ATA/ATAPI BRIDGE? How do I get my pc to find the External HD? please help!!!!!:beg:
 
Give this a try and see if it gets you up and running
1. Right mouse click on My Computer.
2. Left click on Manage.
3. Left click on Device Manager.
4. Expand the USB list.
5. Find the USB device for your USB Hard Drive.
6. Right mouse click – Uninstall.
7. Turn off the external USB hard drive.
8. Turn on the external USB hard drive and let it find and install the driver.

It's possible that the usb driver for the external h/d just needs to be re-installed.

Good luck :)
