As you know,the Seagate sometimes has the firmware problems,so it seems that this firmware designed only valid in XP or Vista system,you may find the firmware update from the seagate official website

Take the drive out he caddy and plug it into another computer to see if it still works. If the drive is dead then you need another drive.

Sounds like driver problem to me. Re install the driver by using installation disc, or if you have lost your CD, than use this Driver Update Software to update. I hope this helped.

Seagate Expansion 1TB external Desktop Hard Drive (9sf2A4-500) not detected.

Claire,

Have you tried connecting the drive to another computer using Windows 7 or later. You could try chkdisk /f at a command prompt or get the testdisk app to identify deeper issues with the drive.

Connect some other USB device (keyboard? mouse? memory-stick?) to your desktop?
Are those devices detected? If not, then either:
* the USB port(s) on your desktop are damaged,
* the device-drivers for the USB ports on your desktop are not installed.

Try connecting it to a different desktop/laptop, to see if the Seagate works at all, on any desktop.

My Free Agent 1 TB external has been dropped a few times. It seems to be working fine, but it makes a lounder noise than it used to when accessing files. Should I worry?

Yes. If the case has been damaged, imagine what happened inside the hard disk, where the tolerances are in microns. Start saving for a new one.
