Hello .

I suggest you to ask your question in the Windows Answers Forum at http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows.
Did you check the hard disk's file system? Maybe it's formatted with a file system not supported by Windows. Are you able to access the disk by using another Windows PC?

Bye.

Specifically, ask in the Win8 Hardware section: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-hardware?tm=1359959212955
