I got some new Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 drives from a friend but when i used them in my server computer, they were not showing up in windows explorer. I took them out and plugged them into a different computer and tried to use them. They worked and I reformatted them to NTFS and the other to FAT32, but when I put them back in the server computer, they were still not showing up.
Later, I downloaded EaseUS and took a look at the drives. Both of the drives were showing up a "Write Protected" and I couldn't reformat them or do anything. I do have windows server 2012 on my server computer and windows 7 home premium on the computer that both of the hard drives worked, but I don't think that is is a hardware problem, but more of a software problem.
Hard Drive Information:
Product Name: ATA ST3250410AS
Total Size: 232.89 GB
MBR Signature: 732849C6
Partition Type: FAT32
Serial Number: C36B70C3
