SOURCE: Sony Vaio laptop could not access 1TB external hard drive

try other usb port, or other computer and see whether the hdd is detected. If still not, try to go to device manager ( http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000833.htm ), and then assign a drive letter to the hdd. After that, try to access it from Computer, if not able to access it, format it (use quick format) and then use this data recovery program to recover your files.

Bought a seagate backup plus hard drive to backup files, installed on computer but cannot backup files, problem says could not be performed because of anI/O device error.

Connect the external drive to a different computer, and try to copy a few files to it. If you still get "I/O Error", then the unit has malfunctioned.

I recently bought a Seagate Backup Plus Portable Hard Drive with 1TB of storage. The first time I used it, I was able to drag and drop around 100 photos from my Mac without any problems, but the second...

Oh I have the exact same problem - its because its not formatted for a mac. You need to empty the device before formatting as it will wipe whatever is on it. If you format as FAT32 it can be used by both mac and PC.

How can I find the files on my 1tb, seagate external drive?

You maybe removed the driver for the hard drive when you ran the anti virus. Those programs can do some strange things. If you click on the start, then computer. It will show all hard drives on your system. If you cannot find your files. I would think your computer does not see the external hard drive. To reinstall the driver, you would need to go to the driver's manufactures web site to down load or yours may have came with a disk. If so just run the disk. Could do a system restore , but that would be last option .

Make sure your computer has found it and it's supposed to be working fine then replace the USB cable, try another port, uninstall the harware from windows, then unplug the drive and reinstall you may want to try the previous version of software if you can. Also check firmware updates and double check correct windows / OS and bit level.
