Have you ever plugged in a USB drive or any external device with a hard drive and wondered why you cannot see it in My Computer?
您是否曾经插入USB驱动器或任何带有硬盘驱动器的外部设备,并想知道为什么无法在“我的电脑”中看到它?
More than likely the cause is that Windows renamed the drive to a letter that is already in use. This will happen if you have several card readers, thumb drives or external hard drives attached. It will also happen if you are on a network and have mapped drives.
原因很可能是Windows将驱动器重命名为已经使用的字母。 如果您连接了多个读卡器,拇指驱动器或外部硬盘驱动器,则会发生这种情况。 如果您在网络上并已映射驱动器,也会发生这种情况。
To find the drive and then rename it, you’ll want to right-click on My Computer and select Manage.
要找到驱动器然后对其进行重命名,您需要右键单击“我的电脑”,然后选择“管理”。
