Most versions of Windows 95 unfortunately aren't USB capable without upgrading its drivers. Also, note that I don't believe Windows 95 can even handle USB 2.0 specifications and thus might revert to USB 1.0 speeds. On top of that, Seagate's website doesn't state that your Seagate 160GB USB 2.0 external hard drive supports Windows 95 at all, only Win98 and up. Nevertheless, go to the following website and follow the steps they provide and you should be set:

Worst case scenario, upgrade to a different Windows OS or go for a free Linux OS like Ubuntu.

Good luck!

Seagate external HDD used on XP 32 bit laptop, device not recognised on new Win 7 64 bit laptop.
It may be that you need a driver for that particular external hard drive.

Visit: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/ and search for your specific model and see if a driver for 64-bit Windows 7 is available.

I have a seagate Freeagent Go 500gb and suddenly it is not recognized by my laptop.
Try with another PC, If still not recognising, then You have to open the Casing of your external drive. If you have any Warrenty remaining for this Drive, then let company people fix this. if no warrenty then Remove the HDD from the casing, Connect HDD to the PC with another External casing, and backup your Data. If no ditection with this method, then your HDD is Dead. Keep finger crossed best of luck

Seagat 500GB Portable GO external HDD not recognised on PC
first of all you should try it on deferent pc , if its ok then that leads us to insufficient power provided through usb ports , try using back usb ports not the ON-front, and if the problem still try using dual-usb cable like thishttp://www.cooldrives.com/usb-power-cable-mini-b.html and if the external hdd doesn't work at all it might be the usb controller board inside the hdd cage needs to be changed if you cant find a similar one you may buy a new empty cage

Hello. I recently installed Windows 7 64bit Ultimate edition. I was initally unable to access my seagate external HDD. I tried to take ownership and played around with the permission settings to no avail...
It may be the USB chipset on the motherboard that needs a new 64bit driver downlod. I used Driver Detective to update my Intell chipset when I upgraded to 7 now all my external drives show up. Try using other USB ports on your computer first to force the computer to reload the driver for the new port.

I havea seagate 500gb external hard disk, when i connect it wth the laptop the hard disk is not recognised on my laptop. i have windows xp professional installled in my laptop
Click on the link below and then click on the "Fixit" button. Windows has a patch for all external devices not recognized by PC's including HD's. This is especially an issue for those who've recently installed SP3. Best of luck with your problem.
