I cannot see my USB2 drives after fitting new USB3 external drive,but when I look in disk management it can see the USB2 drives but windows explorer and Powerdesk cannot see USB2 drives.Help needed. Looking in my Partition manager it shows a USB2 drive as named System Drive1 but explorer cannot see it.
