  1. Hard disk not detected


    WD my passport ultra is not detected in the surface 6. I checked it at device mgmt but not showing then checked it through command prompt it not showing. However once it showed the message that " Last USB device you connected has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognise it".


    I have checked my hard disk on other laptop and its working fine also checked with different cable on surface but its not working. I have tried uninstalling driver as well but that is of no use. Please suggest remedy.

    :)

  2. External Hard disk detect issue

    Hello,

    Let's determine the reason why your Windows 10 stopped detecting your external hard disk. To get started, we'd like to get the following information:

    • Did you make any changes to your computer prior to the issue?
    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • Have you tied connecting the external hard disk to a different computer? If yes, is it working?

    In the meantime, let's run Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter. This troubleshooter automatically detects and resolves problem with hardware and devices. To do so, please follow these steps:

    • Open Control Panel.
    • Select View by: Small icons.
    • Open Troubleshooting.
    • Under Hardware and Sound, run Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.

    We're looking forward to your response.

  3. Windows 10 not detecting my seagate 1 TB external hard disk

    Hi,

    Thank you for coming back to us with the status.

    To understand the issue better, I would like to know what exactly happen when you try to open the file?

    Let’s try simple steps and check if this helps. I would recommend you to connect the external hard disk on different computer and check if you are able to open the files.

    I also, suggest you to go to the Disk Management and check if the drive are detecting on the system.

    Press Windows + R and type diskmgmt.msc on the box and hit
    Enter.

    Method 1.

    For now, I suggest you to go to device manager and update Seagate driver and check.


    • Press Windows key + X and select
      Device Manager.


    • Click on Universal Serial Bus to expand, right click on the Seagate
      device and click on Update.
    If the issue still persist, you can try the below method.

    Method 2.

    I suggest you to connect the SD card to the system and run check disk on the hard drive to see if there are any corruptions. Follow the below steps:


    • Press Windows key + X, click Command Prompt (Admin).
    • In the Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

      chkdsk /f
    Disclaimer: While performing check disk on the hard drive, if any bad sectors are found then check disk will try to repair that sector. Any data available on a bad sector might be lost. Once Check Disk completes, boot
    the computer and then check.

    Hope this helps. Keep posting us with status we will be glad to help you.
