HI, Just joined but have read and learned alot from this site!!!
Ok, Windows 7 Pro plenty of ram etc etc..............
I have an external hard drive (GoFlex Seagate 1.5 TB) that works great on my Windows XP Pro machines. When I opened it up
in the past I just saw all the folders of things I have in there. It was under my computer and the little pop-up would happen
in the lower right corner of my computer with a sound. There was no partitian.
Someone put some music and a program (altho I dont think the content matters but trying to give all details). He did this
from a macbook. I was not there. He then showed me what he had done thru his computer. It was all there!!!! I could see
our recordings and the program he gave me. Now, I was seeing this thru his computer on my hard drive just to be clear.
I have a new computer that is the Windows 7 Pro. I never plugged it in there yet till now.
I plug it in on new computer and can hear the beep. There is a hard to see icon that says when I place the mouse over it,
"safely remove hardware and eject media"! When I pursue it and press it I get 2 options.
1, Open device and printers.
2, Eject the Goflex (when I do hit eject I get a pop up saying it is now safe to remove)
I am not sure what all that means!!!!!!!
Onward to the problem,
I plug it back in.
I go to my computer and it is not there. I go to disk management and it shows up.
Disk 0 is my OS.
Disk 1 is my internal #2.
Disk 2 is the External I am trying to use.
So I right click it and have options until I try to use one and low and behold they WONT click! Oh wait, DELETE VOLUME
will!!! LOL No extend or shrink even tho I can see them.
It states when I click it , Healthy (Active, primary partitian)
I have tried it on my XP machines it worked on but now nothing!!!!
I cant access ANYTHING on it and the guy who did it is deploying back overseas. In all the confusion I "may" have heard him
say he had to format it to mac at one point but then put it back?
HELP!!!!!! I have tried to explain exactly what has happened and my set up.
Thank you in advance!!!
