Seagate Problem?

[Jeff The Killer]

Recently, seagate 1TB was on and has most of my game files there so I can play games for Steam, then all of a sudden, it dc from it while I was playing Witcher 3. So I remove the drive then back in...it does recognize the drive but the game won't work and I check Storage and its not appearing at all on Windows 10. Help? Idk why this starts now, been using it almost a year?

Sounds like the drive is failing/failed.

Did you check Windows Disk Manager and make sure the drive was mounted in it?

You may want to think about getting another drive an transfering the contents over.

What is the model and model number exactly of your computer ? It "could" be driver related, as far as SATA drivers are concerned that is. Many change to Windows 10 without doing driver updates from the manufacturer's website only, and that can be a problem, especially when their computers don't officially support Windows 10.

If your computer is custom built, post the exact motherboard, please.

EDIT..Ninja'd by the good Spawn

I check on Windows Disk Manager, it is working but I can't access to the storage. I tried on different laptop, didn't work either. Do I go to Seagate website for updates but i never get notifcation to update it at all?

What does it show in your BIOS ? Does the drive show up there as available ?

The good Spawn is probably right here. If you can get into the drive, you might want to save your data if the drive is failing and does have some life left so you can do this.

It does show up there but what is a BIOS?

You should not need any special drivers because hard drives are pretty universally accessed.

If Windows Disk Management sees the drive, but no partitions on it, that is not a good sign. You could download Seatools from seagate.com and do some tests on the drive. It is possible that you might not be able to copy anything from it. Although, you never know.

My boss' grandson's laptop suddenly would not boot Windows when it recognized that something was wrong and refused to boot to protect remaining data. I booted Linux from a CD and started to copy the user's home directory to an external drive, but then it just stopped. When I put the drive in a USB enclosure and tried ti access it from another computer neither Windows nor Linux could access it. But a couple of weeks later I plugged it into Linux, it auto mounted the drive and I was able to copy files from the drive, except it could not read one game directory (unrelated to steam).

Was able to copy from it and it said it passed. But still won't work? Idk why this is sudden? I keep it on since I has memory for me to play steam games since my laptop memory is not enough.

Post what I asked for above, please. Some may say drivers cannot affect this but I respectfully disagree. I could be wrong of course, but it will not hurt to check your drivers and if W10 is indeed surported on your system.

Windows 10 is supported, I brought it and it labeled that it is supported for Windows 10. Also, I brought this laptop that was already Windows 10, didn't update it from windows 9 or whatnot.

Not sure If I was suppose to tell you it but the laptop is Razer Blade 2015. Been using the harddrive 1tb, install files on it about 500 gb used of it. Was playing Witcher 3, but during the game, it game itself starts to have problems as some was not responsive and whatnot. So I quit the game and found that the drive was not conncect even though It was with the light on. I am not a genius at this kind of thing, this is very new to me. I tried using Seagate Dashboard to check the health of my drive, it said it was "Passed" so idk what that mean, guessing its healthy but idk why its not working? I remove it and tried in different usb port...still won't work, and even restarting the whole laptop and still won't work. I know I am stupid on this, but should I contact seagate support?

It seems that there are several models of the Razer Blade 2015.

I would like for you to look on the bottom or side of the computer and post the EXACT model number of that computer. Google this if you need help or post a link to where you bought it from, if that applies.

Just found this...and upgrade guide so maybe there is important info in that guide concerning having the Windows 10 operating system on the computer, even if it came already installed.

But back to the driver issue...

If this is the computer that you have, you need to install the latest chipset driver update first, and then the rest.

http://drivers.razersupport.com/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=view&parentcategoryid=505&pcid=478&nav=0,350,478

Make SURE that I have the correct computer here.

Sorry to multipost here but also in the FAQ there on the 17" model...not sure it can help but seems related maybe...

Since updating to Windows 10 Razer Synapse does not detect my device and show the correct product configurator
If you encounter this, please perform Synapse update through Settings >> Check for Updates. If the updates not able to run or Synapse not able to load, please uninstall Synapse and download the latest Synapse Framework from Razer support site.
