  1. External Hard disk not showing up


    I've 4tb seagate backup plus hard disk which has 2 partitions out of which one partition with 2tb is bitlocker protected. I've initiated removal of encryption of that 2 tb hard disk but it stuck at 46% and after that disk is ejected automatically. Now I'm not able to see partitions is disk management and disk driver get loaded for a while and gets disconnected and reconnects with Unknown USB device - set address failed. Initially same drive was loaded with original driver and it disconnects within few seconds and reconnects with this error. Please help me someone to have backup with my drive and reset it to initial state.

    :)

  2. External Hard disk contents are not visible.

    Hi Pranoti,

    For us to narrow down your concern with your external hard disk, we would like to know the following:

    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue (e.g., updates, software installation)?
    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    • Do you hear any clicking sound when connecting your hard disk?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you update all your device driver.

    We look forward to your response.
