Ok So I have a "Seagate Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive" with 3 partitions on it.
I was on windows 8.1, however today I did a clean install of windows 10. However the hdd is now showing up. Something that may have spiced up the update is I switched from MBR to GPT.
Like when you are in bios you can see it plugged it, but windows 10 does not acknowledge its existence! Not in device manager, not in partition manager, not in command prompt diskpart... all that shows is my disk drive and SSD that windows is installed on.
I have ran the "hardware and devices troubleshooter" many times and all it says is something about "base system driver" and I keep applying that, but it doesn't do anything and just asks to do it over and over again. That likely has nothing to do with this.
Just for fun I pulled out my hdd to usb connector and plugged it into my computer, and it still did not show up, however partition manager finally acknowledged its existence, now I have "Drive 1 No media".
Another thing, I went on MS support chat and they suggested that many people were having trouble with there Seagate HDD's and windows 10 which I find hard to believe considering how long windows 10 beta, and release has been out. However I can't really find a driver anywhere for it either.
Any chance I will get my HDD back? If not what is the best way to try and re-sell it after copying its contents onto a new drive?
