Sea Gate External HDD Not Displayed in Mycomputer...

Judging from that model number, I would say that's a 500gb 5400.6 drive.

You will need to remove it from its chassis and connect it via its SATA connection (remove the USB bridge board) and see what a regular PC detects it as in the BIOS.

I.e. does the PC detect the proper model from the drive label (e.g. ST9500425AS) and the correct capacity.

Once you have done this, then report back with results. Without this info then we cannot help you.

ya its a 500gb drive... you mean tat i hav to connect it to a pc like a internal hard disk....?? and is there a proper way to remove the chassis cuz it still has warranty... and after i connect it using sata and goin to vios where should i look for the model number and size of the disk???

Yes, connect like a regular drive.

If the warranty is more important than your data, then we might as well end this thread here. You cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs!!

BIOS should show model and capacity in the setup.

Okay Will try tat and will post back..thanks... ^_^
