    Windows 10 won't read my seagate HDD


    Hi everyone! I need help on retrieving my files from my seagate HDD. I was able to open it yesterday after my laptop updated windows. However, when I started opening folders it suddenly showed IO error then turned to local disk G. Now, I can't open it anymore. I have tried the disk management and this is how it looks like. Please help.

    :)

    Seagate Freeagent HDD

    I have a Seagate Freeagent Desktop HDD that is not being picked up by Windows 10.

    I have been on to the internet several times looking up options to get over this problem but, as of now, none of these options work.

    I have bee to the Seagate website but again I have not made any progress. One of the options was to uninstall the driver and then reinstall it but this is a problem in itself as my pc isn't even picking up the drive and therefore not only doesn't it work
    but it cannot even be seen and is not listed in the drives.

    Does anyone know if there have been any recent solutions produced for this problem.
