    EXTERNAL HARDRIVE DOESNT REGISTER

    Hi, Thanks for posting in the forums.

    If you have a windows laptop/ computer, try seeing if it works on there.

    I’d also suggest downloading a software called Seatools (seagate). This will allow you to diagnose and identify any problems with the drive.

    Also check to see if it’s within warranty, if it is you can get it replaced or refunded. You can check this here.

    I experienced the same problem with my external drive and this helped, so hopefully it does for you too.

    If you still have problems Contact seagate support

    Let us know, if you’re able to get this sorted :)
