We went through each test that the program offered, starting with the S.M.A.R.T. It detected our only drive, along with its serial number, model number, firmware revision, and drive and test status. SeaTools' user interface is extremely stark: basic menu items line the top of a plain window, with detected drives are listed below. You'll have to take its word that it's working, though, because it doesn't offer any scan details.

What can I do in this situation? Is it that the drive is dead? It is the first time that it happens to me with a Seagate drive, I have another one of 2 TB and it has like 4 years and is still working.Hard disk maker Seagate's SeaTools for Windows scans your disk drives for driver corruption, broken master boot records, viruses and Trojans, spyware, and any hardware conflicts. Also, the search for hardware changes and check to see if the there is a current drives is not working.

I tried to delete the driver, reboot and nothing happens. For example, I plug the disk into another usb ports and nothing happened, the cable is working just fine and the disk only has its light stable and does not goes on and off.Īlso, I when I enter into the disk manager, it seems that the driver appears, but it is in hidden devices like in the following picture: I have tried different solutions, but none of them are working. The disk was working fine after that, but in some occasions it was not recognized by my OS which is Windows 8.Īpproximately, a month ago the drive does not appear on the Windows Explore. So, I tried to use Recuva, but the process for recovering the files was going to take days therefore, I tried another program called Stellar and it managed to recover the files in shorter time.

I bought it like one year ago, and one day when I was copying one video file of approximately 1 Gb, the operation suddenly stopped and I was not able to see the contents of the Drive. I bought an external Hard Disk of 4 TB of the brand Seagate, it looks like the following picture:
