Windows 10: Seagate Central SRN01C not showing on Windows 11

Hello,I have a Seagate Central SRN01C that is not showing on Windows 11. On Windows 10, I had to enable the SMB 1.0/CIFS feature to get it to work. This doesn't work in Windows 11 unfortunately. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thanks,Nikki

Seagate Central

Just done the Windows 10 Upgrade..

All ok but I cannot access my Seagate Central to view the DLNA

Downloaded Seagate central and it cannot find my DLNA box...

Any Ideas ?

 

Windows 10 cannot access seagate central external network drive error 0x80070035. How do I fix this?

Hi Ted,

I am an independent advisor and a Windows user like you, and I am hoping to help you out with this.

Can you provide the exact model of your Seagate Central external network drive? I believe it may be SRN01C?

Due to the age of the product (the manual at
https://www.seagate.com/files/www-content/suppo... indicates it could be from 2014), I would recommend trying the following steps in Windows 10.

In the Start Menu / Windows Search, please type in "windows features" to bring up the Control Panel match "Turn Windows features on or off"

In the window that comes up, scroll down until you find "SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support".

Click the checkmark next to this, and press OK.

Hopefully this helps - please note SMB 1.0 is less secure and very old; this article is very technical but if you are interested in reading more:

Otherwise, you may want to try to disable the firewall or antivirus software temporarily, to see if it will allow the network connection to proceed.

I hope this has helped you. If this is not what you are looking for, please reply and let us know and we would be happy to look into providing some different suggestions!

Regards,

Seagate Central - how to take ownership of folders

Seagate Central:
I've had a 4TB Seagate "Central" for a few years and it was cluttered with lots of backups from my old XP setup, which died.
I connected the Central to the new W10 PC (both hard wired on the LAN)
On the Central, - the old "public" area, - and 2 "User areas" called oak and pine, - show as network connections in Explorer

I wanted to start again with new user names so did a "Clear all" which is supposed to delete all data and user settings from the Central.
It didn't..!

I now have a 4TB "Central" with a public area that wont permit any data to be copied to it. It says there's not enough room. Hmmm
Oak and pine require passwords but don't recognise the ones I used.
So basically the Central is unusable.

I've tried a push button hard reset, which is supposed to return the Central to factory default. It doesn't.
The "techies" (ho ho) at Seagate tell me this is a windows problem. and I must "take ownership" of the public area and user area.
They tell me to follow
Take ownership of files and get full access in Windows 10

I've tried, - but here's what happens
R.Clk on folder icon > context menu > properties > security > advanced
The next step is "Change" owner, but "Unable to display current owner" is displayed.
If I ignore the display and go to the next option "Select user or group" dialogue, ... The only location available is the Seagate Central.
My PC doesn't appear and I can't choose myself (as a user) to take ownership.
I am logged on as the administrator.

Has anyone got a clue how to fix this? (because Seagate doesn't) OR is the "Central" - toast?
