If your computer came with a motherboard disc the drivers could be on it
click start control panel administrive tools ,computer management ,device manager look through all of your devices if you see a yellow question mark?or exclamation mark ! or red x
right click to reinstall drivers or
if you can see your usb but its not working
ports(com&lpt)right click update driver
sometimes the wires inside the cable will be damaged due to bending or stretching or placing heavy equipment upon the cable,
just replace the cable of the hard disk, when you plugged the external disk drive you got that windows could recognize the USB device change the cable everything should work fine again,
check the USB leads that attach to the motherboard usually red-white-green-black make sure they are securely seated and have no dust build up on them dust will cause static and a lot of unforeseen problems also make sure the computers Ram and Cmos battery are securely seated
hope this helps

Why does my Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex, 1.5 TB, external hard drive USB 2.0 make a clicking sound and will not connect to my Satellite receiver?

Does the drive work with a computer? This is an important test to determine if the drive is bad, or if it is an interface problem. Check the satellite receiver instructions for using external USB devices. Many times, these types of devices do not have interfaces with drivers for external hard drives.

Hi,
Welcome to Fixya. Once you connect the harddrive on the computer go to my computer or computer then right click on the seagate drive then select format. On the window that will pop out on the screen select Fat32 then format the drive. Please use windows xp or 7 because vista don't have fat32 but exfat.
Thanks

I accessed my Freeagent goflex 1tb on my laptop the first time. but when i tried to use it again, a display shows that the drive is not accessible. access is denied. what can i do? i'm using windows 7...

Switch off and on your Freeagent, that should cause a driver to be loaded. If no change reset your Laptop. You should also upgrade to Windows 10, since WINDOWS 7 IS NO LONGER SUPPORTED.

Can you use a Seagate 500GB FreeAgent GoFlex external Hard Drive with ready boost in windows 7?

Yes, but because it's a hard disk and has low transfer speeds it will actually slow down the pc instead of making it work faster. Ready boost is designed to be used only with memory sticks of the latest generation.

This is a good read on what this error actually means:
