The device might not be supporting PnP or Plug and Play.
Fors such devices, you dont need any drivers.
Check the documentation or the packet of the drive to see if the feature is supported or not.
If not, get the drivers.

Alternatively, just for assurance,
Go to Run... and type services.msc

Scroll down to the service named "Universal Plug And Play Device Host" and ensure its status is either Manual or Automatic.
