Seagate 2tb Problem

[Antzlee]

Hi guys its me again and this is my 2nd time posting about my problem here again for today, you see I bought a 2TB External and then I was gonna try it out so far its working I can see " Removable Disk " something in My Computer but I don't know if I'm dumb or not but I tried this one

Spoiler: Dumb 1

you see when I tried to use the HDD Low Level Format to erase all the data in my External but somehow when I disconnect the cable and connect it again the removable disk won't show up.

Spoiler: Dumb 2"

Please Help Thank you so much

1st of all you didn't have to use low-level format. If you could see ext. HDD but couldn't see any data/partition, you just had to open Disk management, create partition and do quick format.

Go to disk management and make sure it still has a drive letter assigned to it.

I Didn't know about that >.< sorry I'm just noob at this and anyway I tried it but somehow there's no drive letter

in this situation, I would suggest you do the following.
first disconnect your drive.
download usbdview

You must be registered for see links

and uninstall drivers for your drive in this tool.
reboot.
connect the drive and post results.

So I have had the same issue about a year ago. With a Seagate 2T SATA drive Seagate HDD's typically come unformatted and with the size 2T of the drive were originally used at enterprise level Mission- critical server and storage arrays. I had a heck of a time getting an image to lay down on my Seagate even with the Seagate drivers downloaded and put on a bootable USB & CD. Then I found if you download Windows XP SATA drivers and use them on a disc "not through USB" to format the drive for the first time works like a charm I have done this to 4X now each successful.
