After connecting the Segate Hard Drive in your computer go to Control Panel. In Control Panel you will the option Administrative Tool. In Administrative Tool open the Computer Management and you will find the number of attached Hard Drive and the Partitions they have.

Please get your Hard Drive checked by Segate professionals and then replace the Hard Drive with new one.

Open your computer casing and look for the ribbon cable attached to your hard disk drive and motherboard. Unplug the ribbon cable from the motherboard and hard disk drive. Then put it back again the cable and observe, if the problem is still the same. Next part is to unplug the ribbon cable from motherboard and hard disk drive and observe for the sound comes from your hard drive. Try also switching your ribbon cable into another IDE ports.Normal hard disk drive usually have a normal sound but the defective hard disk drive have a mechanical noisy sound. Have a good day.
The best way to recover your data if you cannot boot up your computer. Remove the hard disk and attach it to an USB hard drive adapter. Plug this adapter into a working computer's USB port and this computer should see this as an external storage device. You can then open the folders and files to backup/copy, provided the hard drive is not faulty.
Motherboards do not have hard disks but you can attach hard disks to them. Most motherboards allow you to connect several hard disks of various sizes. Most home computers only have one hard disk.
Open your computer back up look for the hard disk(s).
The capacity of the hard disk is usually on its label.
If not, you can look it up by the manufacturer and model name on Google to determine the capacity.
Depending on the size of the disk, 1 or more GB of the total capacity will be inaccessable because it is used to format the disk. (e.g. Windows might only "see" 28GB of 30GB disk.)
It detects that there was hardware attached, but the poblem maybe your hard disk is not formatted and compatibility configure to your system, try it to other computer first
hello,

if ur hard drive is IDE port then
attach the 1st end of ide cable to the motherboard and second end of ide cable {IDE1}to the hard disk {make this hard disk MASTER by change the jumper settings }
attach the second hard disk to ide cable {IDE 2} make this hard disk SLAVE by remove the jumper from hdd
