Title: Seagate Backup Plus
Post by: rockstar4cs on July 11, 2013, 09:33:10 PM

I have a dell computer with windows 7. I just bought a 1TB Seagate Backup Plus plugged it in ,and so far its not showing up in explorer. I went to the site and followed some instructions about going to my computer clicking manage ,but from there I'm lost. Wondering if anyone could give me any ideas thanks

It may not be formatted out of the factory which means Windows won't recognise it...
Right clik it in Disk Management and select Format...choose NTFS and let it run...
Re-boot and it'll work fine.
