  1. Mass Storage corrupted and not recognized - FIXED!


    Hi guys - guess what:


    Just tried one of those techie helps on the net - and of course they wanted access to my computer. So far so good, but that was an extra $56 and - what were they going to do that I hadn't done already?


    So I thought, hang on, I'll just give it one more try. Before that I had checked the Seagate 2T mass storage on 4 other computers and it showed up in the files, even with the extension +, but when you clicked on it it went blank. Properties showed a full disk. Nothing. It even showed up in Disk Management as "healthy" - about 2T bytes, no worries, but no go. The 'remove hardware' all worked, but there was nothing.


    SO - OK, after all that (and after the techie non-help) –



    Plugged the 2T Seagate into the USB 3 on the new HP Windows 10 (used the other of the two USB 3 sockets, not the previous one)



    And switched on the computer.



    Startup on Windows 10 automatically scanned and repaired the file system on the 2T Seagate mass storage – all files are there again & the device is working properly.



    Needless to say giving those guys access to my computer would have solved nothing. All they had to tell me – for $5, which would have taken them about 2 minutes ($150 an hour) – is to:



    1. Turn off my Windows 10 computer

    2. Plug in the mass storage – to a different USB 3 socket

    3. Turn the computer back on



    That’s IT!! - actually only takes 1 minute


    So there youse goes

    :)
