Windows 7 Home Ultimate stuck on windows update
Boggin:
Did you RMA those - I know Seagate have a 3 year warranty on their external HDDs.
rhuffman:
It is an internal drive and it is over 4 years old
rhuffman:
If I download sea tools for dos and make the bootable cd, will it be able to see the hard drive even though the bios does not see it?
Boggin:
It may do.
I have a former Win 7 laptop upgraded to Win 10 after a motherboard replacement and SeaTools for DOS doesn't find anything on that one but does on a Win 7 laptop.
Was it recognised when you connected to the other machines as you said you were going to ?
SeaTools for DOS can only be used on internal drives so you can only use it on the affected computer.
rhuffman:
I connected the drive to my i7 PC and same thing, bios does not see it and getting the beep noise which is coming from the drive and not from computer speaker. I was watching youtube videos about the armature not in home position and how to fix that and also there was a few on putting the hard drive in the freezer for a few hours. I will probley try the dos boot cd and if that does not work I will take the drive apart, have 2 dragster USB externals that are out of war rent and making click noises, they are totally useless, cannot access them so will perform surgery on them as well.
