Windows 10: error 0x80070780 seagate drive model # SRD0NF2

I use the 5tb model of the Seagate backup drive I am getting a:

"error 0x80070780" from Microsoft Edge.


I have 3 of these seagate drives and never before have I had this problem using the drag and drop method of backing up my C-drive on my Windows 10 PC.


I have tried installing Seagate drivers and other means of troubleshooting. Is there anything on your end you can suggest?

:)

 

What is Error 0X80070780


I'm trying to copy quite a few files from one hard drive to another.... neither one is the C Drive .... their both internal secondary drives. I Keep randomly getting " Can't access the files due to Error 0x80070780 " I've tried researching it, and can't seem to get to the bottom of it. Tried checking it for errors via windows built in tool via the Properties. Can't figure out or if its possible to run SFC /Scannow on a disk that's not C Drive. Any suggestions on free software to run to check for any errors?

 

Seagate external drive

Hi Paul,

One of the possible reasons why your Seagate external drive is not working properly is due to a corrupted storage device. To help us determine the appropriate troubleshooting steps, we would like to ask the following questions:

• Were you able to connect this external drive to another computer?
• Have you made any recent changes before you encountered this issue?
• Have you tried to unplug and use another USB port available?
• What is the error message that you received?

We look forward to your response.
