In Windows 10/8, Press Windows + X keys, click "Disk Management". In Windows 7, right-click the Start icon, select "Search". Type disk management and click on it. Step 2.

Hi Roger F. Wells I'm sorry to hear the bad news, Mostly, when your external hard drive fails to show up on windows, first, connect your new hard drive correctly to your computers. Then, you can pick an appropriate fix to make your external hard drive show up on PC and work normally again: #Fix 1. Change USB Cable/USB Port and Reconnect External Hard Drive #Fix 2. Format External Hard Drive to NTFS/exFAT #Fix 3. Reinstall External Hard Drive Disk Driver #Fix 4. Update Universal BUS Controller Drivers So, the solutions are quite clear now. Just follow the right method to make your new hard drive detectable and show up on your computer again.

Will is recognize, decode and transfer movies on a network accessible storage nas drive?

This connects directly to the hard drive. As long as you can do that, it should work. The format of the drive will need to be one that your computer recognizes.
