• Seagate Free Agent Desktop does not recognize my hard drive in Windows 8

  My Seagate Free Agent Desktop does not recognize the hard drive on my new computer with Windows 8. Although I can still use it to save and transfer all the data from one to the other, I lose the functions in the menu of the Seagate such as backup and synchronization. It worked fine on my old computer that worked on Windows XP. I tried Troubleshooting compatibility mode and that did not help.

  The message in the Seagate Manager appears as:

  None of the external drives have been found. Make sure that your external drive is connected and turned on.

• When I plug my new Seagate Free Agent Desk GoFlex external drive, I get an error message saying that Windows does not recognize the hardware. I'm stuck and need help to install the external hard drive.

• The Seagate Free Agent to my mini mac need help

  My Seagate external hard drive does not seem to be able to connect to my mac mini... it had originally been used on an HP laptop and now does not seem to be identified on the time machine.

  To use TM, the drive must be formatted in Mac format. PC cannot write/Mac format, so I suspect that the drive is formatted in NTFS format.

  To use the disk go to disk utility in the folder utilities under the Application and format the drive. Note the disk will be erased.

My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv 9500 - (dv9620us) and my OS is Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit. When I insert the disk into drive F: to put in shape. (I don't know why I have to format the drive) I never had on the previous backup drive. A message window appears and indicates the disc is write protected and this is what I get.

  Can I reinstall my OS if my F: drive does not write or recognize a CD drive? I was able to back up my files in the past, but all of a sudden I encounter this problem. If reinstallation is recommended, I'll be at the risk of losing all my files? Is there a setting that needs to be changed? Can what steps I take to remedy this?

  I recently downloaded Norton Utilities 15 of Norton Web site. This would have something to do with my F: drive is not not able to write?

• How can I make external hard drive, the restore points for windows 7

  Dear experts,
  My laptop Dell Studio 1558, pieces of 7,64 edition windows Home premium. I want to use external drive hard/Pen drives to achieve and many restore points. I have seagate Free Agent GoFlex 320GB.andTranscend JetFlash Pendrives 16 GB external hard drive. Is it possible to do in both of these external gadgets, restore points? Please specify the procedures in detail.
  Thank you very much.

  We must be clear on what you mean by "Restore Point."

  If by a restore point that you refer to the small key files backup made before a system change, it must be stored in the folder System Volume Information hidden on the hard disk the file is actually required, you can't edit this storage point (usually drive c :)). The only option you have is to set the amount of space to reserve for this purpose. Once you have defined, which then restore points are organized on a FIFO basis where when the space is too full for a new restore point the oldest is deposited.

  The alternative is going to be an image of the system. This will obviously be very wide for each backup, so if you want to do a number then you consider doing incremental backups. This way to make a complete and regular backup then or event based backup only the files that have changed. These backups are also defined as available points in the system restore utility.

I am NOT real computer 'savvy '. I don't know what to do to solve the problem. I have read other forums that are similar to mine, but not only as mine. Help! I had the computer just a little more than a year, and it started just be a problem a few weeks ago.

  Hi BarbaraXA,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

  According to the description of the problem, I see that you are unable to perform a backup and the error message "Backup has encountered a problem; "C:\Users\UpdatusUser\Favorites can't find file error specified 0 x 80070002.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. We are here to help and guide you in the right direction.

  This problem occurs if Windows Backup tries to back up files in folders LocalLow, Contacts and research and that these files are not present on the computer.

  Note: These files are only created if certain applications are installed on the computer.

  Method 1:
  I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and see if it helps.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest that you run SFC [System File Checker] scan on the computer that could scan all protected files to verify their versions to verify if there is any changes made to the files and if there is no corrupt files. And will replace them with the correct version.

• How do I defragment my hard drive?

  I have a Mid 2010 Mac OSX 10.8.5 installed Pro. I tried to do the upgrade to El Capitan but wanted to make a backup of the system before I upgraded. I want to do the backup on my external hard drive I use Time Machine to make backups on. I have a 500 GB Seagate Free Agent external hard drive. I've trashed a LOT of old files on this subject so I expect to see a lot of room open upward after that I did own upward. When I started, I saw that there were some 40 available 500 GB. After that I trashed (and emptied the Recycle Bin), there are a few available 85 GB. I remember the years there, I used to defragment some of my hard drives, but it is a long time over ten years ago. Would it not useful to do that to my free Agent drive to win more space? And if so, where can I find this information on the defragmentation?

• NSLU2 claims drive is full when moving large files

  Hi all.

  I just got my Nslu2 today as its going to beput to use to share multimedia files in the home network. I currently put it in place with a Seagate free agent desk top of page hard drive 500 GB and a sky netgear router. I currently have the Firmware Version: V2.3R24 and I'll upgrade it later in the day.

  I created all things out of the box and everything went well so I started my entire mp3 collection to the nas disk 1 that I moved a large collection of files well over 50 GB in a go to the drive. I noticed it was a slower than I expected, but ive read also on the resolutions of vista of lille.

  Once the mp3s had been moved, I started to move a set of .iso files all files have been around the size of 6 GB, but I get an error message indicating that the disk is full. I connected to the web-based administration tool and it still says 'disk 1 loan, 469283MB (88% free) '.

  I had a conversation with an agent via the live chat option, which advised me to upgrade the firm dishes and reformat the hard disk, so that's what I'm doing.

  I was wonderring if anyone else had this problem and if so how they resolve.

  Thanks for your help :-)

  Try holding the reset button of the nslu2 for 2 seconds and the IP must return to 192.168.1.77. Make sure that your computer is on the same network range and try to ping of its ip address. If it gives an answer, you should be able to access the user interface and update the firmware. If this is not the case, try to hold the reset for 10 seconds, that will be the default value for the ip address and the password of the nslu2. If you have IP address ping the 192.168.1.77 I think that there might be a problem with the unit and it will be better to call Linksys dual cannot verify the settings.

• Time machine missing backups

  iMac 2009, 21.5 inch, OSX Yosemite 10.10.5

  I replace my computer soon, after many years of good, and one thing that always gives me peace of mind is my Time Machine backups to an external drive (Seagate Free Agent 1 TB). My computer had about 800 GB on it, and I was getting messages that the disc was full and could not make a full backup. So I removed 200 GB + computer, deleted several backups that I didn't need and changed my settings to not save another external drive like Dropbox, and more. Close to 650 GB, I had the size of backups down.

  But now, he is still not back up the full thing AND most disturbing, my latest backup is 28 January. So, after years of backup with diligence to my computer, I don't see any earlier versions. As I know, nothing of the past that I have now, but what I can do to see what existing backups? 'Get info' said 760GB is used, and yet when I open the app, it shows that two backups. Any ideas?

  Thank you.
