Hello,
I have an issue with my computer reading my Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Desk 2TB hd. I believe the last I used it was to save movies from Dish Network when we moved, and we ended up getting Comcast, so I don't think I can watch them (haven't tried), but the computer will pick it up in one device list, but won't let me access it.
I thought I found a solution to this when I visited http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/282482-32-formatting-external-harddrive and saw Roger Girouard's suggestion of downloading the Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool for Windows, and I did get it, but there was another that said to look up by the device I had but they don't have my device listed. I didn't know if I should do a full format or a quick format so I didn't do anything yet.
I then saw kamicaz01dz's suggestion on April 12, 2013 6:09:20 PM, but when I pulled up my drives, my disc one is labelled C:, my disk 0 is my D and E drives, and then I have a disk 2 (I assume that's the one I need to format) but it has four partitions, one is 1 gb, one is 500 gb, another is 500 gb, and the the last is 862gb, so not sure which to delete using the suggested fix.
I would like to be able to recover any of the files that were on the drive before the Dish format if possible. I have been hunting and hunting for a program I had and I wonder if it was on this drive, because I haven't found it on my other ones.
Thanks for any help!
