  Hi Philippe,.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thank you for the post about it

  It seems that when you connect an external hard drive Seagate USB to your computer, there is no indication in the drive. I appreciate the action that you tried to solve the problem.

  I would like to know the following information.

  (1) what version of Windows is currently installed on your computer?
  (2) have you tried to connect the hard drive to other USB ports?
  (3) you are able to use other USB devices?

  I suggest you to connect the hard drive to another computer and check.

• Windows 7 asks Me to format the Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive I've used for more than a month

  I used Seagate FreeAgent as my external hard drive for more than a month now, but recently I am unable to access Windows 7 asks me to format it to use it. Somehow I can format the HDD without losing my data?  Or does perform a work around?

  Hi NuVille,

  Before perform us any of the steps, first of all I suggest you to create a backup of the data stored in your external hard drive on another computer.

  To save the data, you can connect your external hard drive on another computer and copy all the files and folders on the other computer. Later, you can connect the external drive to the Windows 7 computer and try to run the disk error checking and check if that helps you solve the problem.

  Access the link below and follow the steps to check the drive for errors and fix it.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

  After completing the disc you error checking, try to check if you can access the drive.

  If the steps above do not I suggest you try to format the hard drive. Access the link below and follow the steps to format the hard drive.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/create-and-format-a-hard-disk-partition

  Note: there is no way to format without losing any data on the disk. Formatting the drive will erase all data.  This is why you must back up the data before formatting the hard drive.

  I hope this helps. Let us know the results.

  Thank you and best regards,

• EA4500 - unstable connection to my external hard drive from Seagate Freeagent

  Hello

  I would be very grateful if someone can help solve the problem captioned.

  I bought the EA4500 for a week and all is well, except that the connection to my external hard drive 1 TB via the USB port of the EA4500 is not stable.

  The router are visible at the level of the 'network' of Windows 7, as one of the "Computer".   I therefore use my memeo autobackup software to back up my data via a network connection on the external hard drive.

  It works very well, however, for a limited time.  The time is a few hours.

  After that happens, the device can no longer be seen at the level of the "network".  In addition, it cannot be mapped via the service 'road map' normal.  A "Not enough resources" error when I want to map the drive.

  The problem can be solved temporarily after a "roboot" of the router.  But it's frustrating.

  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  Thanks in advance.
