My HDD Seagate Momentus 5400.6 500GB is not recognized by win7. I have connected it like a ex USD HDD, but there is no USB devices in Device manager. The hdd is clicking -1sec click, 0,5sec off. Thanks,...

Hi, it might be a file system error.
You could try removing the hdd from the usb enclosure and connect it directly to your pc via SATA.
(power off both of them before doing so)
If it really is the file system then scan disk should repair it automatically when turning on the pc.
Then if the pc recognizes it you can put it back in the usb enclosure.
Good luck!

Try this:

1. Turn off the power supply to the hard drive.
2. Turn off your PC/laptop.
3. Connect the hard drive to the PC/laptop.
4. Turn on both devices.

It worked with mine.


You could also try installing Seagate Manager which can check for errors on the drive.

Hi i have got seagate Go 500gb when i connected to my computer it say that insert a disk into your Usb .i would like to know how can i fix it

Can you give any more information? What kind of PC? Age of PC? How old is the external drive? is the drive new? Esata is different then USB. Make sure you are connecting to an eSATA port on the computer. Newer laptops usually have a shared eSATA and USB port.

How can I power up my seagate 7200.11 500gb external h/drive to my pc

If your OS supports this device ... plug in the power supply to proper voltage ... and connect the end to the device. Use a appropriate USB cable from the back of the Seagate and plug into an available USB connection on your computer.

Check your AHCI (or ACHI, can't remember) settings in your BIOS. Turn them off, use "standard pata mode" even though you're using a SATA drive, and try again.
