Just got the drive this morning to replace my WD Black 1TB. I've been searching for an answer for three (3) solid hours, and I've come up with nothing. As with a lot of users here it looks like, Seagate is giving me a hard time with its HDD. I've tried a lot of the different solutions, and I'm coming up with nothing.
I have a Seagate External Hard Drive for my Mac, and I've had no problems with it. But apparently, the internal drives require a lot more of a jump. But anyway:
I'm using a Seagate 2TB 64MB Cache 7200RPM SATA2 3.0Gb/s (Heavy-Duty) Internal Desktop 3.5" hard drive. (Amazon screenshot in the breakdown below.)
OS: Windows 7
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 860K

=============
When I first installed the drive, I had ~1.5 GB of space. That was.... No. No! So, I immediately did a Disk Clean Up and cleaned up any system files that I didn't need. That's how I ended up with the "Free Space" I have now. I was thinking about reconnecting the WD Black (it works; it's just dying) for my hard drive and then format the Seagate. I think that might work, but what do y'all think?
I've also just emailed Seagate support, but they more than likely won't get back to me until tomorrow. The hard drive is working great right now, but I absolutely need more than 8.33 GB of space to work.
