Hi all,
I have an interesting situation. I have a Seagate 2.2 tb hard drive that is now being read by Win 7 as a USB drive. It spins up okay, but if I have it connected to the MB, the boot halts at initializing USB drivers. Then when I unplug it, the system boots.
I have downloaded the Seagate Seatools for Windows and it recognizes it as USB 1394, it is hooked into an ESata hard drive dock. Previously it would not be recognized attached to the main Sata ports on my MB, an MSI 890gx.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am wondering if the MBR is overwritten somehow with a USB one?
This is not a system drive, but a storage drive with lots of data I would like to retain.
Is there a program that you might suggest to restore a backup index file or NTFS file index and return it to HDD recognition?
Thank you,
Arlie
