I have a Seagate Backup Plus external HD at 4TB and suddenly it stopped working correctly today. It suddenly started being detected as a local drive E: (and when I reboot, if it is plugged into the laptop it seems to try to boot from this drive). But it does not stay connected. It will detect for about 3 seconds, then show nothing. This happens in Windows Explorer, Device Manager, and Disk Management. I cannot even keep it long enough to uninstall any drivers or anything.
Last night when I turned off my computer I noticed that the HD was still on and unplugged it, but suddenly today it stopped working.
