Seagate BARRACUDA 2000GB

August 18th, 2015, 4:18

Hi to all,
I have a Seagate Barracuda 2000GB that I used for backups on my macbook. While it's doing the backup last night the hdd is dead. Now when I tried to reconnect to the mac it's power on, but I don't access the data on the drive.

I tried to connect the drive to a Windows Pc and the bios don't recognize them. What can I do? There are some possibility to restore my data?

Thanks to all!

Good it was only your backup drive, so you still have your original files.
Get a new drive and take a new backup and you will be fine.

Specifica i sintomi che manifesta il tuo hdd...
Emette dei ticchettii continui per caso?
Il motore rimane in rotazione o si spegne dopo pochi secondi dall'accensione?
