  1. seagate external drive not recognised in Windows 10


    Hi, my Seagate BUP Slim BK USB Device/external drive was corrupted yesterday when I connected it to my computer. This is the message I get when I try to connect it E:\ is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. And when I try to have it scanned for issues, this is the message This disk check could not be performed because Windows can't access the disk.


    When I open the disk properties, it tells me that it is working properly, but when I try to reinstall it, it is not recognised.


    How can I get either Windows 10 to recognise it or re-install it?


    Thanks for your help.

    :)

    Seagate external drive not recognised in Windows 10

    I have just updated my desktop PC from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Now when I plug my Seagate Backup Plus external drive into any USB port on the desktop I can't get access to the files on the external drive. The Seagate shows up as an "Unspecified" device
    but the troubleshooting option does not work. However, the Seagate drive does work and is accessible on my laptop which is currently running Windows 8.1. Please help as this external drive has a lot of pictures and files on it that are very important to
    me.

    Thank you,

    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.
