How do I get an external USB hard drive recognized in Windows PE environment (WinPE running off disc)?
I'm running WinPE on a disc. I believe it's PE 2.0. It's being run on a laptop with USB 3.0 ports, as I'm sure that may matter. I want to connect either a USB thumb drive or USB hard drive but it's not recognizing the USB hard drive. Is it supposed to automatically detect and install drivers or are a set of commands I'm supposed to run to get it to recognize the external hard drive?
I would even be open to connecting it to the network and retrieving data in that fashion.
Any help would be appreciated.

Upgrade to a newer version of WinPE then; 2.0 is ancient; 3.0 is Windows 7; so try that

I'd strongly suggest you do what Ramhound said, but if that's not an option you can download drivers and inject them to your WinPE image using the servicing utilities:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749350%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn613857.aspx
This links are for different versions (Vista and Win8).
I don't have access to WinPe 2, but one of them should work (assuming you have WAIK installed).
