I have also tried different cables, different usb ports, shutting down the computer and unplugging the external hard drive РІР‚вЂњ then turning pc back on and plugging the external hard drive back in but none of that has resolved the issue either.

I did try 'scan for hardware changes' that did nothing and I also tried clicking uninstall and then scan for hardware changes with the same results. I also tried going to device manager and it is listed there and there are no exclamation marks next to it.

I also tried looking for updated drivers and the drivers are up to date, then I tried uninstalling the drivers for it and them the pc - the icon on the bottom that drivers were being installed did come up but it still cannot be seen in My Computer and is still in the same location in Disk Management. I'm guessing that if I click for New Simple Volume that any information on that drive (if it is possible to recover it) will be gone forever РІР‚вЂњ only guessing about that. If I right click on the drive which now states unallocated space there is the option for New Simple Volume and when I click on properties it states that the device is working properly. I have no idea why the Seagate Free Agent external hard drive was recognized by and could be read in both pcs the night before and now it I cannot. I simply am not sure what to do now РІР‚вЂњ between the darn external hard drive only showing up as unallocated space in Disk Management and the Acronis True Image 2011 not booting properly with the rescue disk (but right now I am not concerned with that issue). I can click to safely remove hardware and it is showing up there as well but I cannot access the backups that are on that drive now and it is not being shown in My Computer at all. It is listed in device manager and if I go to My Computer and right click for manage and click on disk management it is being shown but as unallocated space now. I tried plugging it into my laptop with the same results. The following afternoon when I turned the computer on the Seagate is no longer being recognized by the computer. It was late by then so I just shut down the computer and turned everything off and thought that I would try again the next day. I then created another bootable rescue media disc and tried to load the TrueImage program but it again showed the True Image screen and then booted to Windows XP instead. So I tried 3 more times with the same results.

On restart It did show the screen for starting true image and then another screen popped up and vanished just as quickly and Windows XP Pro started instead. I plugged the Seagate Free Agent External Hard Drive it into that pc the other day to restore it to one of those backups it was recognized by the pc so I put the rescue / boot disc into the cd drive and restarted the pc.

I had been having issues that the older desktop pc and wound up just doing a clean install and I was going to use my image backup from a few months ago to restore the pc to that time (only because I forgot about my image backup before doing the clean install). I have a Seagate 500GB Free Agent Desktop USB ST305004FDA1E1-RK, P/N 9NF2AL-570 that I was using to store my Acronis true image backups on of an older desktop pc.
