Hi,
I've been having problems with my Seagate Portable Drive (Expansion) 1 TB. compatible with windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8.
I plugged it in my 2.0 & 3.0 USB and it installs the driver. When i try to find the external disk on my HP 360 laptop (windows 8.1) i can't find it to access the folders i have on it.
On other laptops it doesn't seem to have this problem.
When i connect the ext. drive to the laptop it makes a sound and the light on the drive goes on. I see the icon in the right corner below that asks if i want to safely remove the drive, so this means my computer detects the disk. From there on I clicked on my devices and i found the disk but it only shows the details of the ext.drive (names, codes, IT things that i don't understand) it doesn't open the drive so i can access my files.
I tried reinstalling the disk and it doesn't make a difference. i tried all usb ports.
I only used it once before to backup my macbook which are the files that i need.
i tried to find the answer on forums but didn't find an answer yet.
What can i do?
