    Seagate Hard Drive not working on pc.


    Hi I have been using my Seagate hard drive on my xbox and recently changed it onto my pc and it has been working fine. After a couple months it started to not glow up and my pc would recognize it but when I try to initialize it, I get an error: "Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)" I have searched all over online for solution and can't find any fixes. Can you please help me with this?

    :)

    All my games are gone and don’t want to reinstall

    Can you (just for testing purposes) unplug the Seagate hard drive and try to install one game on your internal hard drive?

    If that works, try if it's possible to format the Seagate Harddrive on a PC, and do NOT use Quick format. With Quick Format, only the "table of contents" of a hard drive get overwritten, but by doing a "regular" format, each part of the drive will be formatted,
    and you can check if parts of the drive platter became defective.

    If the Format was successful, try to connect the drive to your console again, and have the console format it again for game storage.

    If the drive shows signs of corruption or is unable to be formatted on PC, check on the Seagate website, if the drive is within warranty and can be replaced/repaired.

    I NEED HELP

    Plug the hard drive in the pc, and download the seagate diagnostic tools, then install them. Once installed launch it, and it will check your drive for any errors, and if it can, try to fix them. If the drive cannot be fixed, then contacting seagate will
    be your only option for a repair or replacement drive.

    Backwards compability for USB 3.0 External hardrives on XBox 360?

    Seagate drives are not poor quality. I have used many Seagate drives in PC builds and never seen one fail. The reason they don't work with 360 is that the firmware used by Xbox was not designed for Seagate drives - nothing to do with quality.

    Can you play the same game on two Xboxes on the same account & Can you play one game and another game on two Xboxes?

    With my Seagate 4TB, Can I moved the games to from my Uncle's Internal Hard Drive to my Seagate 4TB External Hard Drive & still play them without purchasing?
    No. It doesnt work like that.

    Subject : 2TB hard drive for xbox 360

    I bought a Seagate expansion 2tb usb3 drive and I have same issues. It doesn't want to format on the 360. When I format to Fat32 on the PC, it works. When I replug that hard drive on the 360, it shows up in the storage section with the appropriate amount
    of free space. However, if I download or transfer any game to it and try to run it, the game refuses to launch. I do think that the 360 does need to format the hard drive in its own special format, perhaps FATX. However, when you format with that type of Seagate
    drive, it doesn't work.
