SOURCE: Wd and Seagate usb hard drives attached to computer Will not boot when WD usb hd on Seagate makes no difference

Check the drive letter assignment for the disks, and make sure it is not the C: driver.
I am assuming you can boot and then plug the disk, right?
So use the Disk Manager to check the driver letter, and change it if it is conflicting with another disk.

I have a Lenovo H430 Desktop & i Got a Seagate 3Tb Internal Hard Drive & i can't get the computer to detect the hard drive & everything i have tried & even Seagate tried nothing wo

hi..there...

why your lenovo H430 Desktop cannot detect your internal Hard Drive Seagate 3 TB ..because your Lenovo only support maximum 2TB Internal Hard Drive..

so the best thing to solve your problem is replace your hard drive and use only maximum 2 TB for your internal hard drive..

that's will make your lenovo works again

Externalseagate 250go not open how to solve

If you cannot open or see the harddrive when you connect it to your computer after it is powered on then that is the external harddrive itself. First, check if the power connection is connected and the usb cord connect correctly. Then see if any lights come on on the external hard drive. If lights does come on and still nothing showing or coming on to the computer, then your harddrive is history. Seagate makes one of the worstest hardrive. You can google this up about seagate promblem and there are thousand out there who have this same promblem. I know this because I have the same promblem you have.

How do i convert my hard drive for my lap top they have different plug ins

Was your old hard drive a 44 pin IDE drive (PATA)? Then you need a 7 pin SATA to 44 pin IDE converter module. Unfortunately, I can't suggest any - most take up enough space that they can't be fit into a laptop case behind the hard drive. Some connect to the IDE cable; others connect to the IDE port on the motherboard. They are more useful for the small format desktop cases (home theater PC).

I wish that I could be of more help. 2.5" IDE drive are still available; this might be a more effective solution than finding an adapter that will fit inside the laptop.

My seagate Free Agent external harddrive fell on ground yesterday. I unplugged it from the computer and try to use it again but it doesn't even show on the computer. The PC doesn't show the name of the...

Hard drives can make a little noise when you shake it gently, but to hear clicking sounds when it's running is not a good sign. I dropped a brand new 120 gig hdd for a customers lap top right outside the store. It made noise when I shook it "carefully" but nothing installed. NOTHING..... Tested it. It was dead. Since you say it's an external see if all inside is connected tightly.
