External Hard Disk is seen "offline" in Disk Manag

[Christopher715]

I upgraded my primary HDD, took the "old one out and put it in a HD enclosure to use as for my video/music.

In Disk Management, the disk shows "OFFLINE" but all the "former partitions" still show (the ones that I created when it was my primary HDD)

Any suggestions as to HOW I can get the drive detected? I've run DISKPART and nothing happened.

Help at this point would be much appreciated.......

Thanks in advance......

Go to Disk management, should be able to right click on the disk and select REACTIVATE

Thanks! "Reactivate" actually turned out to be "ONLINE", but that suggestion pointed me in the right direction!!!

Many thanks for the solution, now I've got a 500 GB drive for my movie files ) Thx again!
