How do I get an external USB hard drive recognized in Windows PE environment (WinPE running off disc)?

I'm running WinPE on a disc. I believe it's PE 2.0. It's being run on a laptop with USB 3.0 ports, as I'm sure that may matter. I want to connect either a USB thumb drive or USB hard drive but it's not recognizing the USB hard drive. Is it supposed to automatically detect and install drivers or are a set of commands I'm supposed to run to get it to recognize the external hard drive?


I would even be open to connecting it to the network and retrieving data in that fashion.


Any help would be appreciated.
