Problem: The drive icon doesn't appear in Computer.

Q: Is the drive listed in Device Manager?
A: All drives appear in at least one place in Device Manager.

Windows 7 and 10: Click Start and right click on the Computer to select Device Manager.
Windows 8: In the modern interface, type Device Manager and then click it.

Look in the Disk Drives section and, if necessary, click the plus sign to view the full list of devices. If you're
uncertain that your drive is listed, unplug it and then reconnect it. The entry that changes is your Seagate
drive.

Q: Is your drive listed next to an unusual icon?
A: Windows Device Manager usually provides information about failures with peripherals. While the Device
Manager can assist with troubleshooting most problems, it may not display the exact cause or provide a
precise solution.

An unusual icon next to the hard drive can reveal a problem. For example, instead of the normal icon based
on the type of device, it is instead an exclamation mark, question mark or an X. Right click this icon and then
choose Properties. The General tab provides a potential reason why the device is not working as expected.
