Hi,

I cant seem to get my portable HDD seagate 1tb to show up on my computer. It worked fine until i formatted it.

Its showing up in usb installling drivers with no errors... not sure what else to do besides googing? doesn't work on 3 pc'd i've tried?

Spec:
Windows 7
SP2

You could try reformatting to NTFS if you havent already? Past that, maybe check that there is sufficient power to the drive?

click start/right click my computer/manage/storage/disk management and see if it shows up there,if it does right click it and create a simple volume,it should show up then
