20 Most Recent Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3160815A - 160GB - 7200rpm - Ultra ATA/100 - IDE/EIDE... 160 GB Hard Drive - Page 8 Questions & Answers

Please double check your motherboard documentation. I believe your model only comes with IDE interfaces. If so, you can purchase any IDE interface harddisk, which will be OK.

its ether a 4 pin molex or a sata connecter ou can get a converter plug molex to sata or reversed which ever you need

I would have to assume that a "Seagate external memory" is actually a Hard Drive. If so then you need to note what sort of Port or interface connection it is using. USB / Firewire or a direct connection cable of some sort. Note also the size (capacity) of the drive. You have probably loaded it up so full that it can't function. The ideal situation would be to connect this drive to a computer and try and recover your files. You need to know what the drive was formatted for. Check the manual. Was it Fat32, NTFS, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) etc or some proprietary receiver format. Does the dish receiver have the format (erase) utility on board. If the PC or Mac can see the drive on a USB port then you may be able to recover your movies. If not... You can always format the drive or completely erase all data and set it up for use again. Or you can replace the drive with any number of different brands of drive, maybe even with larger capacity. Most drives all use ATA or the newer SATA type connector internally. They are all interchangeable. So WD (WesternDigital) Hitachi, Seagate, etc will all work the same way. (All of them have to be able to plug in to different brands of computers. Mac or PC. Without further info, it's hard to suggest anything else. Good Luck Trevor

Use Disk Utility, free app on every Mac, go in Applications/Utilities.

The same way you would any other drive. Copy to the Seagate or do a backup with it as the target.

Find the file, right click on it and delete.

Typically, external drives simply plug in and automatically work.

Which tools you are using for backup ?

Is it your system drive or a second drive? Back up anything you want to keep. Assuming you are using Windows, if it isn't you main/system drive, open explorer, right click on the drive letter (make sure you get the right one) and format. Also, you could use something like seatools from Seagate.

is your drive SSD or ATA

hardware malfunction, return under warranty, by the sounds of it, it is having trouble compensating for thermal expansion(thermal drift) of the platters inside.

This error for all the listed cores in device manager? This typically a root system driver and without the need to ever change. I'd first remove all cores from device manage. Right click and uninstall device...however do not "remove software". Let Windows reinitialize the hardware and reinstall. It's also possible your hardware may have some additional chipset drivers that need to be installed to work correctly. Download the Intel chipset installer from your PC's manufacturer support page. This most likely just OS issue if it's just an isolated event. However if you have intermittent odd errors like this all over the place then there could be a deeper issue like HDD causing corruption. Hope this helps...

What's the brand and model of your computer? Maybe you need to install additional drivers for the hard disk to be detected by the computer

go to ebay

its dead get new one

How often does this happen?? Did you reboot and everything come back fine? How long have you had the 3 TB installed? You may need a BIOS update for your computer to handle the 3TB HD if you recently installed it

Clicking is very bad, copy your files and replace ASAP.
