First of all, I am sorry if I have made this thread in the wrong section and if so I request the Mods to move it to the correct section.
Dear Fellow Users,
I am in need of urgent help as my external hard disk (Seagate Expansion Portable 500GB) is not being detected by my computer.
Today (21.05.12), I plugged it into my laptop and saw that it was not showing up in 'My Computer' although the 'LED' indicator on my external drive was 'green'. I searched for a solution on the net but no chance. Everywhere I searched, I just saw that it may not have been assigned and was recommended to check out Disk Management but there too my drive didn't show up nor in the 'Disk Drives' section of 'Manage' (right click 'My Computer' > 'Manage').
I even tried to plug my external drive to my LCD which had a USB port just to check out and also to my PC but no luck.
One more Important thing is that the disk inside my External HDD isn't spinning coz I' unable to hear any such sound of spinning, but a beep sound is coming.
Plz, help me out of this situation as I am having some really Imp data in it and I don't want to lose it. Option other than formatting would be preferred.
I even wanted to ask whether the 3-year Limited warranty of Seagate includes such problems as I bought it on "31st August 2011".
Just in case needed - I live in Jamshedpur and bought my External HDD from Ranchi.
Hope you can help me out as I am unable to get any solution on net.
I recently used my hard disk without any problems probably 4-5 days before 21.05.12
Thanking you,
Mayank
I have even sent the above following query to sos@thinkdigit.com but am really in a hurry so also posted it here. Hope I can get some correct solutions.
