I have an ultra 3.0 hard drive hub. I plugged it in the software loaded but it is in "printers and devices" not drives. How do I transfer files to it? Or how do I move it to the drives section?

No I don't see it in Disc management. I have created a desktop shortcut that only takes me to "Control Panel-Hardware and sound-Devices and printers" The icon is there but I don't know how to access it. If I right click it say the device is working properly.
 


The description is a bit confusing about what you have. You have a USB 3 hub or a USB 3 external hard drive?

This is a hub

This is a USB hard drive

Which do you have? Or are you using a USB hard drive in a USB hub?

I see my description was worthless. What I have is (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2300576)
a USB 3.0 hard drive dock with a 3 port hub. I have installed a Segate Barracuda 7200.12 1 TB. Thanks for your help.
 


Never used one of those, so it never showed up as a removable drive in the system? Can you check in Drive Manager and see if the drive is showing up there but maybe just needs to be partitioned and assigned a drive letter?

Finally figured it out. Drive must be formatted before trying to use in a USB hub. I had to mount it in my desktop format then remove and place in the hub. Thanks for the help.
