seagate backup plus slim 1tb not working

While it is possible that your external hard drive may have come with bundled software that may be incompatible with newer operating systems, this is typically just ‘back up’ software, and the drive is not dependent on that software to function. Please Help.There are several reasons why an external hard drive may not be accessible or detected when you connect it to your computer. I have been a great admirer of Linux Ubuntu since from the time I installed it my computer, never crashed or gave any issue except for a superblock once long time back. I don’t want to be dependent on Windows for this. Then I opened the Disk Utility, it display me bank, something like this. With some ray of hope it showed in terminal Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0bc2:a013 Seagate RSS LLC (checked with root and normal users)Īfter failing with all attempts, I check if its getting detected at all, even the USB. I tried to see if getting detected in fdisk -l (doesn’t show up in the list)Ĭant see in /mnt - Cant mount it.

I tried with my other machines with 12.04 running - No success, however with windows it works great. I just bought a new Seagate backup plus, 1 TB external backup drive, USB 3.0, it is working good with my windows, but when I login into my Ubuntu 12.04 it does not get detected by any way.īefore purchasing it, I did a short research to find out if its going to work with Ubuntu, and I found a thread here (askubuntu) justifying that SGate-1TB ext drive is going to work(lost the link for that thread).
