This may not work with this issue but I frequently plug in a flash drive and it does not show up but if I press the letter key for the brand of the drive it shows up. For example, I have a Luxor flash drive so I plug it in and go to the computer on the destop and open it. There is no flash drive

Lenny, Bummer. I lost a 2 Tb drive a few months back. Fortunately I was able to get it to read sporadically enough to gather the data that was essential, then I cut it open with pliers and a screwdriver to see what makes it tick. Now a new 4 Tb replaced it. Dave Oregonian, woodworker,

This occasionally happens to me and my Seagate as well. I'm almost sure it is a matter of Windows failing to recognise the drive and not an issue with the drive itself. I noticed that on my Windows 10 machine the drive powers off almost immediately when it's not in use. This didn't happen on the

Re: [JAWS-Users] saga of the Seagate drive

I looked into recovery of an external drive some years ago, too, and it was indeed very expensive. However, with that drive, there was some kind of physical problem/malfunction of the heads, and not a corrupt partition. I think you should definitely look for some other software that can help you,
