20 Most Recent Seagate FreeAgent Go 80 GB USB 2.0 Hard Drive Questions & Answers

Only some are missing? If you can access the drive and see or download some of the files, it probably means the other files are not there. I have found it is easy to move files when transferring from one device to the other, when I meant to copy them. Perhaps this is what happened. If the drive was bad, or some other mechanical issue, I doubt you would be able to access any files.

Use an antivirus to perform a deep scan, and select the backup device among the drives and files to be scanned.

First of all - if it says "Trojan. Generic" it does not have to be a malicious program, it could be some kind of an .exe that your virus protection programm don't recognized. I have also seen things like key generators or keys that came with a program that was downloaded from some torrent site being called a trojan. Try a program called "Advanced System Care" or the "Combofix".There should be a free trial available for both.

Just left-click the file or folder you want to copy, choose copy.

Open My Computer and find the external drive, double click, once the folder opens just right-click and choose Paste.

That's pretty much it....or you could also drag files / folders to the drive.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You can replace the enclosue the drive is in and it should work again. Just take it to your nearest PC shop and ask the technicians there to extract the drive from your enclosure and put it in a new one.

Assuming this works, you're done, if it doesn't you may have problems with the drive as a result of the broken port. If that is the case reply back with your location(Country, City & State) and I will be happy to refer you to an appropriate recovery facility.

Hope this helps FixYa,

well you could buy a hard drive enclsure (usb) then open up the seagate and take out the hd (unplug it form the ribbon cables) then plug it into the enclosuer and try plugging that in. may or maynot work becouse the hd itself may be "fried"

my computer it should show you the hard drive connected then drag and drop all your files that you want to backup from your desktop or whatever to the hard drive

If you plug it in to a hub try plugging it in to a USB port directly instead, one on the front or rear of the PC.

Is your hard drive detected by the BIOS? You can also check this by Right click on taskbar > properties > startmenu > customize > advanced > scroll down completely and select system administration tools "Display on the all programs menu" > ok. Click on start > all programs > administrative tools > computer management > double click on storage. click on disk management(local) here you should see your lacie. If you dont then the drive is probably not detected. If you see, you can just partition it from here and it will appear in your my computer. If it is indeed detected, you will have to use a application like Recover my files to recover your data and then partition and format the drive.

It varies depending on the operating system. You can create a Linux mint DVD and boot that without installing. It will take a moment as it is reading the OS from the DVD then see if you can see it, if so it is OK, if not something is bad or set wrong in the USB hardware system.

You don't need a service centre. Take the drive out the caddy and plug it into a working computer using a SATA to USB cable. If the drive is functional then you'll be able to read it. If the drive is dead then you'll need to get another drive.

you should contact the seagate website and ask for advice, or the retailer you acquired it from

I don't know of any reason this can happen. May be your antivirus corrupted the flash download. remove and download again.

No problem . Just partition the hard drive , and use part a for computer one and part B for computer two.

assuming that "wont start up" means that the drive letter is not visible thru windows explorer/my computer, which is already installed and booted from an internal hard drive... the seagate drives, often, require a patch to work with some windows installs- especially if it is larger than 3 terabytes, and occasionally, if larger than 1 terabyte. if this is the case, the patch is most easily obtained by emailing customer service. if this is not the case, please provide more specifics as to your computer, your version of windows, and exactly what it is not doing when you say 'not starting"

Hard drives are easily damaged when dropped and cannot be repaired.You need a new hard drive.There are companies that can recover data from faulty hard drived BUT it will cost you an arm and a leg for their services..
