you may not have the correct driver - what OS are you using - XP, Vista & ?

Try the manual download. I had the same problem and after downloading the software to my desktop it worked.

Once you plug it in it is self explanatory on what you need to do. Download the Seagate dashboard and it will help you.

Insert the disc and follow the prompts. If u have problems, try restarting the computer.

There are no drivers on the disk when you receive it. You have to reload an operating system to it or buy the cable to clone your current system. I loaded a fresh operating system on mine as I only use it for the operating system.

Hey Joshua, You would have to use an external USB CD drive, the unit does not have built in drivers.

I appreciate this very much! One of the comments on this hard drive had me wondering if I could hook it in with what I have, so thank you.

I assume you mean it's not recognized Try plugging it into the cord first then the cord into your usbI can't give you an explanation but it work for me on previous machines Also take a flash drive to test that port. Occasionally they do fail

You can hook up the drive but you might need a recovery program - I suggest "icare" - good program.

It should work fine. I didn't use the installation disk. I plugged it in and my computer did the rest.

Try the direct approach as recommended By Lonnie, below! Getting mine to connect was a little more confusing than it needed to be, but once set up, it is a run it and leave it box - Good Luck

Do you have it plugged into an external USB hub? Try plugging it into your computer directly since an external/unpowered hub may not have enough power. Also try a different USB cord.

Googling this revealed some people do have workarounds to get it working. You might also be able to get a VM of XP (Windows XP mode) and sync that way. Either way, it sounds fairly like a complicated involved way to get a (sadly) obsolete piece of technology working.

I have the computer and the memory, but don't know how to do it. Are there step-by-step instructions anywhere?

I think you have a dud---DOA. Mine worked as a "plug and play." Sorry I can not be more helpful.
