Plug it back in and try this. Right click my computer and click "Manage" When the window opens select "Disc Management". In the bottom of the screen you will see all the Disk drives installed on you computer. Right click on your drive and select "Properties". When the window open click the "Tools" tab and finally Run the Error Checking Tool. It will scan and fix any issues with the disk. Cheers :)
Here is the download site from Seagate http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=freeagent-downloads&vgnextoid=3723b5b59b7d5110VgnVCM100000f5ee0a0aRCRD Please check that link and then download the driver for your device.
Installation isn't possible directly from the Harddisk. Try download from http://www.seagate.com/staticfiles/support/software/FreeAgentCN.zip Good Luck.
Was paroosing other furums trying to find out more about these drives and fell into the site below, first and then the problem you communicated. You may want to check here for a sollution--scroll all the way to the bottom first and then you can read from most recent to last post. If you have used yours without fail for 2 years it may not apply, as the other seemed to have a realatively early failure rate. Those failures seem to be heat related, but you can read further for yourself. GOOD LUCK!!
