    Seagate external HDD corrupted and after I reformatted it I can't download any games on it.


    I am not very good with technology but I bought an External HDD about a year ago and downloaded BlueStacks to play a game I had on my computer. After I downloaded B.S I tried playing it but it didn't work so I uninstalled it. The next morning I opened my computer and was greeted by a failed launcher error, I was confused but when I opened my pc I saw that the external HDD was corrputed or atleast I assmued because I couldn't access it and it didn't show the blue storage bar. I reformatted it and used CHKDSK and it seemed to work fine but when I tried installing games from Steam or Epic Games

    :)

    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.
