Computer not detecting USB Hard Drive



I have 2 identical Western Digital WDBACW0030HBK USB 3.0 hard drives.



My computer will read drive #1 when its plugged in by itself, it gets assigned drive letter X
My computer will read drive #2 when its plugged in by itself, it gets assigned letter x too




But when I plug them both in, it will only show one of them in My Computer, and not both



Whats the deal?


Answer



Go into Disk Management and look for a hdd listed as "offline" right click on it and select "online" and then it will appear in My Computer... problem solved
