since your hdd is unpowered you need to plug this in to the powered usb port (the one with the lightning bolt). If you have done that and it still does not work then I don't have a solution for you. Thus, I hope that it does work!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.An External HDD has a spinning disk inside, which requires more power to turn on then a thumb drive. HDD are required to directly connect to a computer or desktop for full functionality.
