Product Information

If the drive is detected properly, add the disconnected devices one by one until you find the one that is causing the problem. Once you connect a new Serial ATA drive in your computer as additional storage, there remains more to do to get your drive working. The simplest way to reinstall the operating system (and probably erase the data, though that does not happen every time) is to insert the Windows CD/DVD in the CD/DVD drive and then reboot the computer. The option to repair Windows should appear as well as an option to reinstall Windows. Since the repair has failed, simply choose to reinstall Windows. If a Serial ATA drive, installed as additional storage in your computer, was previously detected but is no longer detected, this set of troubleshooting steps will attempt to get the drive detected again, or to conclude whether the drive has failed and should be replaced.

Confirm you are using the current SATA driver from the manufacturer of your SATA motherboard/controller. If the drive is detected there and the colored bar to the right is still dark blue (see figure), follow the steps to Reset the Drive Letter . If the drive successfully passes the diagnostics (but the Windows repair/recovery failed), then the drive itself is most probably safe to continue using. You should therefore, attempt to erase the drive and reinstall the operating system. If your motherboard only supports SATA1 (1.5 Gbits/sec transfer rate) and you are installing a SATA2 (3.0 Gbits/sec) or SATA3 (6.0 Gbits/sec) drive, the motherboard may not detect the drive. There are four options in that case:Then insert the Windows CD/DVD in the CD/DVD drive and then reboot the computer. You should be able to install Windows as if from scratch. Before the drive can display in (My) Computer/This (PC) or Windows/File Explorer, it must be formatted in Windows. Please see the following articles for instructions: Windows Vista en nieuwerNative ondersteuning voor opstartschijven van 3 TB is alleen op UEFI BIOS-systemen en met gebruik van GPT-partities. Disconnect all external storage devices such as USB, Firewire, and eSATA drives, jump/thumb/flash drives, cameras, and printers before proceeding with a Windows repair or recovery. Failure to disconnect such devices could result in serious data corruption.

Generally, if a SATA drive is configured as the bootable drive, then the computer relies on that drive to boot the computer and to launch Windows. It is the source of most of the computer's operations. So, if the computer suddenly stops detecting the bootable drive, this will almost certainly mean that the computer will fail to boot at all. Instead, some error message will occur, and it will become obvious that a serious problem has occurred. After you install a device or update a driver for a device, Windows Vista or Windows 7 may not start Locate the storage drive in the lower window. Disk 0 is usually the boot drive. Disk 1 or Disk 2 may be the additional storage drive. Once it is complete, it will most probably ask you to remove the CD/DVD and reboot the computer. Once this is done, you should be able to boot into Windows, and the install is complete. For Barracuda 7200.11 drives and older, as well as certain Barracuda 7200.12 models) You can place a jumper on the drive to slow it down to 1.5 Gbits/sec, so older motherboards can support it.

Noises can be caused by mounting issues. This is due to either a high-frequency vibration in the mounting hardware or a potential drive failure. Please remember that these third-party programs do not have proprietary access to Seagate hard disk information, and therefore often provide inconsistent and inaccurate results. SeaTools is more consistent and more accurate and is the standard Seagate uses to determine hard drive failure. I am attempting a new installation of a bootable Serial ATA drive in my PC and it is not detected correctly First, please see Document ID: 196169 for more information on installing drives and Document ID: 188411 about the proper drivers in Windows (though if your computer's boot drive is SATA, there should be no need for additional drivers). If your drive is otherwise displaying a lower capacity than you believe was advertised, please see Document ID: 172191 for all relevant information.

Switch power cables with a device like a CDROM or DVDROM drive so that you are using a known-good power cable. Each Seagate hard drive engages in regular self-tests, and most computers automatically run regular SMART tests on the hard drive(s) installed on them. SMART tests indicate whether a drive is approaching imminent failure. Thus, if a SMART error appears suddenly, it virtually always means, unfortunately, that the drive is about to fail and should be replaced. Als uw systeem het Intel RST-stuurprogramma gebruikt, kan het lijken alsof uw schijf van 3 TB slechts 800 GB groot is. Zie ons ondersteuningsartikel over het Intel RST-stuurprogramma. See also Document ID: 196169 for more information on installing drives and Document ID: 188411 about the proper drivers in Windows. This set of troubleshooting steps will attempt to get the drive detected again, or to conclude whether the drive has failed and should be replaced.Windows Vista en nieuwerNative ondersteuning voor niet-opstartschijven van 3 TB vindt plaats met GPT-partities, wat beschikbaar is op alle systemen. Obtain an add-on controller card that can support more modern drives and connect the drive to that card. Access the BIOS by rebooting the computer and, while it is in the process of booting, before the Windows screen appears, press the key that will open the BIOS. This key will vary by computer make and model, but it is often Escape, Delete, F1, or F2. Consult your computer manufacturer if you are unable to enter the BIOS. Once you connect a new Serial ATA drive in your computer, there remains more to do to get your drive working.

It will take you through a process of several steps, including partitioning and formatting the drive. You can choose the default setting - one big partition - or choose to partition the drive into multiple different partitions, as you prefer. It will then install Windows. If you are simply going to install a new copy of Windows (the operating system), you first need to format and partition the drive, and then install Windows:Vereisten voor systeemgeheugen: 1 GB en hoger voor 32-bits systemen; 2 GB en hoger voor 64-bits systemen. Connect to an External Enclosure (Please verify if the enclosure is compatible with the hard drive). Windows-systemen met een verouderd BIOS die Extended Capacity Managergebruiken, hebben twee partities nodig op de opstartschijf om de volledige capaciteit te benutten.
