You could return it but if that not an option you can buy a PCI SATA adapter at \n\nhttp://www.nextag.com/Siig-Serial-ATA-SATA--zz55392280zB2z2--COMPARE-PRICES-html\n\nfor about $46.00

best thing would be to go t seagate's support site, and find out what they say you can do with it

Try uninstalling the drive using the Device Manager, and then reboot the computer.  When the computer reboots, Windows should detect the drive as "new hardware", and reinstall the drivers for it.  At that point you can try the drive out to see if it has restored its functionality.  If not, my suggestion would be to purchase a new drive to replace your present one.

you have to format and name the drive using the admin tools then it will show up as a drive\n\nuse control panel/admin tools/computer management/storage then disk management right clcik the new drive and format as ntfs and the drive should show up in "My Computer"

you're not clear which OS you are using.first of all you need OS installed in new hardisk. Assuming you're running windows, use win98 startup disk to adjust the primary partition of new harddrive to active partition. it can be complicated venture if you haven't done it before. \n\n\ncheck link below and mainly check partitioning section

If the drive doesn't have a partition on it then you might need something better than scandisk, like seatools Desktop\n\nhttp://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/\n\nSeatools although it's written by seagate will check any harddrive for bad sectors, or other problems. Download and burn the iso.

use "DiskInternals Undelete" to recover the lost data to another proper drive, then you can reformat the c: drive and the it should work fine.. install windows then copy the recovered data back to the formatted drive

Insert your Windows Operating System disk and reboot.  Check the BIOS settings if it won't reboot.   Once you reboot, begin the installation.  When it gets to the point of WHERE, select that partition for Deletion, then allow the installation program to format the hard drive.  \n\nIf you do not have the Windows installation disk, GET ONE. \n\nGood luck

just buy a good drive, maxtor ( now seagate ) or western digital\nmake sure the interface is the same ( it's probaly PATA and not SATA is you got a 33gb hardrive ), most all are 7200 rpm\nyour biggest problem will be weather or not your bios can handle a drive over 137Gb if you get one that big, you also did not mention your OS, and what you be foramtting the drive to ( FAT32 or NTFS ).

I would suggest you right click on my computer and go to manage and then that will bring up a console and you go to disk management and you should be able to see what it says about your external drive ie if its un allocated or w/e. Post back with that info, btw did this hard drive work correctly in your other computer before it broke down or did it break down because the hard drive broke down or what ?

You could always take out the hard drive and install it into your new computer as a slave drive, hopefully the drive isn't fried but if it isn't you will be able to explore the drive and drag any files wanted onto your new drive. \nIf the drive is in good condition, you can then reformat the drive and keep the drive as a slave for your new computer
