Hi,
MY PC Specs:
Dell Optiplex 3010
Intel i5-3470 Processor
8GB Ram
Old HDD - WD Blue 250GB
Windows 10 OS
BIOS V.22
The Problem:
I have a Seagate Firecuda 2TB SSHD (3.5" Internal) which is not recognised in disc management so I can not format or partition it.
Intention is to migrate all data from old HDD to SSHD and remove old drive.
Have looked at every posting I can to find answer but all blank.
Drive is visible in BIOS settings, and is enabled.
I have downloaded Seatools bootable for dos, and Disc Wizard and seatools SSD. I get the massage that there is no seagate drive installed using last two.
I have updated the BIOs to latest v.22, no effect.
I have swapped power and SATA cables over with no difference.
Have tried changing boot option from legacy to UEFI in case that is the issue, but PC will not boot, so back to legacy.
The drive is actually a replacement unit just received under warranty as original unit encountered same problems and it was swapped, so unlikely to be the drive itself.
Any suggestions ???
