Hard drive not showing in "Computer". Win 7. Is in device managent.

[Srfoot]

My Seagate 2TBarracuda ST2000DM001 was removed from an old NAS.
I put it into my external, powered usb holder and it runs. Drivers installed. Shows in device manager. I have turned it off/on. I have uninstalled from device manager and reinstalled. No other options shown in device manager. Properties show it is working fine.
I want to transfer info. from it to my new NAS.
OS of this computer is: Win pro 7. 32 bit.

Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

Could be the old NAS ran ext partitions and a Linux backend and Windows can't read ext partitions. Go to Computer Management, and then Disk Management and see if you see a 2TB drive with an unmounted partition that might be labelled "RAW".

Nothing shows RAW. All appears healthy.
I have a pic of disk management and device manager to upload but don't see this option?
Thank you.

You said earlier in your post that you see your disk in disk management, mind pointing out to me which disk it is? Or how much memory it has.

Hi;
It is the ST2000DM. 2T
I have now put my 2 old drives into my old NAS, reloaded the software and after much trial and error I can access them and transfer the data to my new NAS.
I'll assume that the NAS works off of Linux and that was the reason or some type of other file structure that I don't understand.
If I should have been able to access it on my windows computer, that would have been much easier.
Thank you.

Try Right clicking it in control panel>system>admin tools>computer management>disc Management and selecting "change drive letter and paths". I have found that some drives are not automatically assigned a 'letter'.
