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.

We appreciate the feedback, Pete. Getting in touch with Seagate support is one of your options. They may have recent or updated drivers for your external hard drive. In the meantime, since the hard drive is detected again when you unplug and replug it, we

• Right-click the Windows key and click Computer Management.
• Under Storage, click Disk Management.
• Find your Seagate External Hard Drive, right-click it and select
  Change Drive Letter and Paths.
• Click on Change and select the letter for the drive.
• Click OK, close all windows, then restart your computer.

Should the issue persists, then we suggest sharing your experience with us through our Feedback Hub. To access the Feedback Hub, follow the steps below:

Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB External Portable Drive

Is this drive (Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB External Portable Drive) compatible with windows 10 and how do I go about making it work? I installed it while on windows 7 and I forgot that I had allowed windows installer to upgrade my OS to windows 10 the
same night while I was sleeping. I woke up around 6:30am and checked if it (scheduled backup for 3am)worked. The Dashboard said that the backup was halted at 5% and I kept trying to make it continue running and it would work for around 20 seconds or so for
a few times and quit (it would say it had halted each time with a new increment and I got it to go to 21% and no more). I finally unplugged the drive and uninstalled the Seagate Drivers and have not attempted to reinstall it yet. Any help would be welcomed
& appreciated! Thanks!
