Probably, the new operating system cannot recognize your Seagate external hard drive. You can connect the Seagate external hard drive to another computer to copy data to another device. If the problem still exists, you might need to perform data recovery. You can free download the data recovery software: http://www.icare-recovery.com/seagate-recovery/seagate-external-cannot-be-recognized.html
Either you have 50 gigs of stuff on there or your hard drive space is not being properly read. U might need to reformat the drive if necessary.
Meanwhile your xbox electronics may have a limit on the size of space - so if the drive has 200 gigs of space on it and your unit will only recognize 32 gigs, then that is all it sees and can use. Capiche?
Certain games copy gigs and gigs of data over during first install to speed up game play, otherwise you would be waiting forever for certain games to load.
GTA and Metal Gear take up a ton of space.
The best solution for you is to get an external FAT32 usb drive with at least 80gb of free space on it, backup your PS3 to it, and then upgrade your hard drive to a 250gb or 320gb SATA drive from Best Buy. They're going for $49.99 and below so it's a cost effective upgrade.
Once you've got the new drive swapped in you just have to follow the on screen prompts and RESTORE your PS3 from the backup you created earlier and you are good to go ;)
windows - delayed write failed Windows was unable to save all the data for the file I:\$mft. The data has been lost. This errors may be caused by failure of your computer hardware or network connection. Plese try to save elseware.
If you don't need any data, just replace the drive. 80 gig is like 35-45. 1 Terabyte is less than $100. If you need anything off of the drive and it is not turning, be prepared to spend from $400 to a couple thousand.
Hi schwaggysubl,
As I can see you have two options; one is delete some unwanted data that is on a hidden part of the hard drive....this is all the data you have been deliting all this years(which means you dont need it)--------if you want to do this plz let me know via email and i will be more than happy to help you(email because its what I check more often)..... and if you defenitly decide to erase everything you must do the following:
1 go to my computer
2 right click your external hard drive
3 click on format.
4 type how you want to name your external hd on Volume label
5 make sure quick format is not checked
6 and then start.... you done
I use gparted tool to find it. Once you boot from the CD (with the .iso of gparted on it), you can access the tool to find the cylinder by right-clicking on the desk and select ???? sorry, I'm not sure about the name of the tool. So go to gparted.com and download the program. If you need more help, let me know.
Unfortunately, this probably means the read/write heads were jarred and can no longer function properly. That's usually fixable, but it's a very expensive fix because the parts are inside the hard drive and the data surfaces are very delicate... Most people are better off simply replacing the hard drive unless the data is absolutely vital.
