    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I would suggest you to give permission to Seagate and check if the issue persists:

    a. Right-click the Seagate for which you want to set permissions, click Properties, and then click the Security tab.

    b. Click Advanced to open the Advanced Security Settings for <Object> dialog box.

    c. Click Owner tab, click Edit. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.

    d. In the new Advanced Security Settings for <Object> box, in the Change owner to: field, select your User name, and Check the Replace owner on sub containers and objects. Click OK, repeat for remaining boxes. (If your User name is not listed click the
    other users or groups button to add your account). Check in on all the boxes and provide them the read write permission.


    If the issue still persist we suggest you to contact Seagate Expansion support, refer the below link:

    http://community.seagate.com/

    Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.

    Seagate Expansion + Drive not working

    When I use to connect my Seagate Expansion + drive, my windows 8 computer does not read the contents and it also affects the other USB Drives. but it shows on the Device Manager (SCSI controller and Disk Drives section), however the capacity storage is not
    listing up on the Disk Management Tool.

    Any help?
