The drivers for USB storage devices are pretty generic and typically the Windows USB Mass Storage Device driver does the trick fine. To point you to a more specific driver I would need the exact product number for the external drive.
Apart from the visible modifications adapted, Windows 8.1 raised its existing features to an extent. One of these latest enhancements is the optimized Power management feature. The settings of this feature are molded in such a way that the external devices attached to the PC become irresponsive, if not active for a specified time and it does have a certain reason behind this activity.

External devices that connect to a PC via USB controllers tend to intake a degree of electric charge. This keeps the device alive and active to correspond with the system. However, in Windows 8.1, when the device is not used or communicated within a specified timeframe, it enters a low power state. As a result, the device/drive does not show up in the connected devices, unexpectedly suspending the thread of a window browsing the USB device.
Many users have reported this issue as a system error and are in search of a perpetual solution. Let us show you how to get rid of this irritating Suspend on Idle feature. Although the actual fix is to be carried within Windows Registry, you would have to identify the hardware ID of your subject device, connected through USB.
Locate Hardware ID
- Plug in your device by inserting it into the USB slot
- Right click on Windows 8.1 Start button to bring up the Power User menu
- Locate and click Device Manager in the recorded settings
- In the listed categories of hardware, click to expand Disk drives

I am having the same problem as Comfy (2) is having. My Western Digital 2TB drive had previously come up in My Computer and I was able to play video files off of it and everything, when my computer rebooted, is still is in my device manager and says its working ok but it is not showing up in My Computer any longer nor can I see its files. I have run the Troubleshooting Windows Software mentioned above and it says its working fine. Although I did notice that it is using Windows drivers, could that be a problem? Should it have its own driver from WD? I also can't update the driver as I am guessing its the latest one from Windows. I have tried everything that Comfy (2) has done. This computer is literally brand new a few days ago and is Window 10 x64 and the only other thing I can think of is that I think it is USB 1 or 2 the device but I have USB 2 and 3 USB Ports. Oh, and I don't get any error codes either, as its supposedly working.
I would greatly appreciate any support & Thank You in advance for your Time and Effort! Christine
Edit: I found out the problem through Disk Management, it is Offline: This drive is offline due to a 'Signature Collision', one or more drives has the same signature. In this can be corrected as Western Digital has this error and reply on how to fix it but not for Windows 10 only for Windows 8 & 7. I have a support ticket into them. Unlike Windows, it is very hard to find anything on their support site, basically when you put in a question even if its worded correctly the only answer that has any relevance is at the bottom of the page. I only mention that for anyone else looking that will go looking for this answer themselves. If you you have a Western Digital drive, download or start their Utilities Software and on the Diagnose Tab and the First Test says its good and the next two tests seem like they don't even run past the first green bar then fails it, go into your Disk Management, if there is a little yellow ! on it hover over it and it will tell you whats wrong with it. Hope this helps anyone looking for answers they can't seem to find when their drive is ok but, you can't see it in My Computer or see its files. Christine
