Hello my friends,

I own a pc that is backed up with seagate replica 500 Gb hard disk.
Everything was working perfectly.

I also bought a seagate freeagent 3TB hd to have a second (no system) back up

As i can see now (it might happend after usb 3 driver installation, i am not sure)
the freeagent hd works perfect.
The replica hard disk can be seen at disk manager but everytime i try to assign a letter to it appears for 1 second at "my computer" and immediatly disapears and the disk managment also has no letter assign to that disk . .

Do you have any sugesstions ?

Does it happen with any letter? Have you tried a different one?
Do you have any network mapped drive?

This may be a dumb question but have you restarted the system since loading the USB 3 drivers?
