Okay, I'm having trouble with my Seagate portable HDD. First, my specs:
Windows Vista
Seagate Portable FreeAgent Go 880gb
Dell Inspiron 15xx
Anywho, the problem. So I was using my HDD and I was having a blast, I've had it just over a week. One day, I plug it in and it says "Found New Hardware", and it tells me "Windows needs to install drivers for your Unknown Device". So I follow the prompts and it doesn't work? I've tried a lot of things:
Rebooting
Different USB ports
Different Laptops
Manually loading drivers by searching for drivers in C:\Windows
This is driving me crazy because all my personal files are on their. Last resort, I'll send it back to Seagate, but I really hope it doesn't come down to that because as I mentioned earlier, I need those files.
Extra Info:
In device manager, it comes up as an unknown device under the "Other devices" tab.
When plugged in, it beeps and the lights flash.
