Hey Everyone,
I am new to tom's hardware and I have few problems and doubts regarding seagate expansion drive.
I have Seagate Expansion 1 TB USB 3.0, bought a week ago. It copied files just fine till now until suddenly it shows "Local Disk H:"..It shows the same when i tried in two other systems (Windows Vista and Windows 7).
I have tried out the "chkdsk /f H: . ." but it did not seem to correct. When i ran my antivirus, it says 0 files found and scanned.
I don't mind losing the files but if there is way to recover even some of them, I would gladly try.
and I have been told that i should have partitioned my drive before using. so my doubt is, if I format and disk partition my drive now, I will lose my data for sure. but will I be able to recover them? Will the drive be usable after this ? What is my next step..Please suggest!
Thanks in advance
