I bought a Seagate 1.5 terabyte external hard drive and my pc does not recognize it. It cannot recognize it in disk management or device manager. I can hear the hard drive spin and work and the light on the hard drive also lights up. I know its not the cord is not broken because I already tried it on another hard drive and it worked. Can someone help me diagnose and fix the problem?

Is it recognizable on other laptops/computers ? Maybe there's some kind of driver you can install: check on http://www.seagate.com/gb/en/support/by-product/portable-external/ find your hdd model and see if there are some drivers that you could install so pc could detect it
