    seagate expansion drive


    I have a 3g usb seagate expansion drive that is about 3 mths old. It has frequently disappeared from my computer. I would have to reboot and disconnect the power from the drive to get it to come back.

    Is this a sign of a bad drive or just a glitch that some kind of a driver update will solve.

    In the same system I have a 6g WD drive that works flawless.

    Hello again, Datman I have onlya few suggestions.
    1. download and install the latest chipset drivers from your motherboards/manufacturers web site
    2. Run Seagate's diagnostic tool, SeaTools.
    3. See if tis tutorial will help. USB Driver - General Fix for Problems
