101gerard Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Hi all, I have been working on recovering a seagate drive now for some time (on and off) - finally managed to get through the full instructions and the response from drive seemed perfect - below is the full comms from the procedure However after i shutdown and reboot the drive normally (fully connected through usb container) - the drive tries to spin up but then straight away spins down - with no unusual sounds (ie not hardware issue) Where to now - any suggestions? Many Thanks for any help you can give me, Ger.

jaclaz Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Yes , very often a reboot is needed to re-detect hardware, particularly after a "fix" like this one. Another happy bunny ! http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/128727-cant-access-repair-my-pc-option-via-f8-startup/?p=828512 jaclaz
