My 2 pendrives that are plugged to my Prime 4 in are visible from the PC but not the 100 gig harddrive i have installed! I can choose that as the source when booting the prime 4 and it does show the recorded files on it, so it is working but i cannot see it from my PC to copy the files across. 😕
I have my collection on USB sticks and was hoping the hardrive was a little faster since I’m suffering alot of recording errors with various pendrives.and a good memory card.

Have you format the harddrive before putting in it in the Prime 4 ? Like with Fat32?
From the [FAQ](https://inmusicbrands.force.com/denondj/s/article/Denon-DJ-PRIME-4-Frequently-Asked-Questions#External_drive)
> **Help! My external drive doesn’t show up in the devices panel. (Windows)**
>
> This may happen when Windows (and therefore Engine Prime) detects an external drive as an internal drive. This can happen if an internal SATA drive is placed in a 3rd party USB enclosure. We do not support these drives and recommend you do not use them, as Windows is unable to safely eject the drives.
