I obtained a 500 GB USB from Seagate four months ago. It was quite useful. I
had backed up 350 GB data on it before i now decided to check the data on
the drive. I had exposed all hidden files and upon checking the data, i
noticed some files that were not recognisable. I decided to delete these
files before i realised they were the Hard Drives system files. These files
had allowed the Hard Drive to bootup and be recognised from PC Computers and
Macs.
Please can you assist in advising me how to repair this hard drive.
Everytime i connect the hard drive to any pc either directly or otherwise, a
display comes up showing "No fixed drive found"
thanks. |

You are asking on a newgroup for discussing the documentation for writing
device drivers, look for one of the hardware or administrator groups, this
one has nothing to with the area your are looking for.
