I'm using OS Win 7 and when I hook up my target drive and run the software, nothing happens. I rebooted and still nothing. Can't see either drive.

I had a similar thing happen to me and discovered that the included cable only works with an SSD drive. It doesn't work with a standard hard drive.

No it's a blank hard drive. You will need to format to what ever operating system u are using.

You shouldn't have to. Try a different port. And also wait up to 60 seconds for the drive to be recognized.

I'm actually having issues... I'm not sure if its the MB for the hard drive. After installing the OS and updating Windows crashes and won't boot up. It gets stuck on the update screen and won't change.

It should recognize is, there should be an updated drive to view it. Check the Seagate website for that.

All you have to do is format the hard drive and install Windows 7. As for the drivers I am sure you can get drivers to work, you may have to mix and match, look for an older model that comes with Win7, and search the drivers for that model, should work, most of the components are the same. But I have not done it to this particular system... I want to cause Win8 is crap!!! But I have done this before on other systems and it worked so....

If youare using win7 or below it will work and there is a diSk included, WILL NOT WORK WITH WIN8,

Try another disk, if that doesn't change then possibly your missing or damaged driver for the drive. Other possibly the drive I'd bad.

It wasn't viewable in any OS I tried all three,But the last solution here worked as I had to make new partition and quick format it and in this way it also gave it a drive letter.I did this on an XP machine and Now it worked.

I'm sorry, but I can't answer the question because the software was never able to show the "destination" drive. I contacted support and they weren't able to get it to work, either.

I used a 2TB Seagate drive, and had no trouble recognizing it in Win 7. Both USB and E-SATA worked ok for me. Have you tried both interfaces? Might want to try connecting it to another system as well.

same happened to me, I just got tired and threw it out. I thought the disk was empty, but it is some kind of software for windows 95.. the whole thing is junk

I'm using Win 7 G4 bit also. And Yes, I needed to load special drivers, for configure the disk for boot I did the following: 1) Create a new windows installation but just for load the drives that the card's cd have. You can see the drive but can't use it. Reset.2) Create again a new windows installation. Select the new drive, format it and use it.

Hi Lori,You say you're unable to view anything on the drive but its recognized. Could you explain this more fully? Do any folders show up on the drive or anything?

Good luck! It didn't do anything on my desktop even after finding drivers etc

Then drive works with windows 8. The software that comes with it doesn't work with anything..
