If you haven't changed the motherboard from the time you bought it, then there must four onboard sata connectors on the motherboard, refer below picture; i need help installing a second seagate 1tb - c24ab14.jpg

If you haven't installed four sata drives, then there must be at least 3, you can connect the new hard drive on any port, no matter Master or Slave, Primary or Secondary, it'll automatically set it for you. You also no need to worry about the cable, both the ends are same, it works on any directioni need help installing a second seagate 1tb - 80e9306.jpg"/uploads/images/80e9306.jpg" alt="80e9306.jpg" class="h_mi" />

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

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.

I have one 1TB Freeagent hard drive and it was working just fine,until one day it just disappears from my pc and i cant get it to work.I plugged the power cord off,waited for a few seconds,plugged it back...

First make sure usb cable connected to harddrive is working fine. try it in different usb ports. Press windows key +R key so you can see run then type in run "devmgmt.msc" then press ok so you can see device manager uninstall all usb drivers then it automatic install usb drivers. then check. Also you need to change registry for that type in run "regedit" then press ok then you can see registry editor then locate below key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11 CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} And remove upper filter and lower filter.Then restart computer then check. Try your harddrive in different computer if it is not recognized on another computer too then your harddrive has internal issue.
Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for using FixYa

Will a compaq 5321sr see a newer sea 1tb hard drive?

instead of using another latop to get your data back, buy an external USB caddy for the hard drive, you can pick these up for as little as £3, then connect your hard drive to it and plug it into another computer to access all your files on it, once u have all your data off it you can format it and have yourself an external hard drive.

Hard Drive Buzzing and Wont work (Seagate External Freeagent 1TB)

You are in trouble!
The buzzing sound is the heads trying to realign themselves at the beginning of the platter.
You could try putting it on a side and hope gravity helps.
But i'm afraid its broke beyond repair.
