I take it that the second system will boot the Maxtor and windows will recognize the Seagate as a storage drive but not boot the Seagate. Re the second case, you cannot install a windows drive from one system to another and expect it to boot unless the components are very similar. Re the first case, I take it that the Seagate boots when the clone is not installed ? I suspect another clone application might work but that's a problem if the system will not allow both drives installed at once even when one is a storage. Both drives are recognized in BIOS, and when the Seagate is up, I can work with it, it just WON'T BOOT the computer. No matter what configuration, or wire I use - if I don't have the old drive plugged in, the computer will not boot. This after making sure that I had gone thru DEvice Manager, and had the drive added, then was able to populate both drives. Using the same principle I plugged it in Not Recognized as a boot drive. I have transferred it to another case, where the original drive is a MAXTOR w/W10 on it. Now, I have taken the 500GB Seagate out of the computer. So being practical, I just unplugged the C, and Y E P the clone booted just fine. Had tried that using the 'program' but it did not work. TKS.īe interesting to know if the clone1TB will boot by itself with only the clone installed. My question: Why, if the 1TB is a 'perfect' clone of my Local Disc, won't the computer boot from the clone. Switched back to my c drive, and as you can tell everything is working smoothly. This all went fine I then switched my BIOS to show the 1TB as the initial boot drive: Half and hour of nothing. I then used the SeagateDiscMgr to clone my c drive to the 1TB. Maybe you can provide a solution to this problem: I initialized the 1TB using the standard procedure. Well, after all this, it appears - according to HDTunePro - that the disc DOES have bad sectors therefore I returned it to the dealer, and received another in exchange. Suggest to check the warranty and get in touch with support as well. In all honesty seems like you have tried everything possible. The drive itself vibrates, and is warm, and I can hear it spinning so I know it is active, but it JUST WON'T SHOW UP in the program! Strange, I know - I've been working with these things since the late 60's, and I am completely BAFFLED by this one!! I have other computers, but NONE have the motherboard for this type of SATA drive so I cannot connect it. DISCMANAGER/WIZARD from Seagate sees all my drives, except the new one. Using CMD I have attempted to access the disc with an arbitrary ID, not recognized. Drive shows in BIOS, as discussed, shows in DiscManager, but in PROPERTIES when I ask to populate: Disc not ready. I had W/SEATOOLS and it ID'd the drive, but that was all it did. Your suggestion on downloading the DOS version of SeaTools met with "UDDER" failure, as the program says it will only download to NFTS formatted media but will not download to NFTS formatted CD-R, nor will it download to NFTS formatted USB flash drive. Here is what I have tried in the interim: Using a W10 ISO I tried to populate the new drive - Drive Not Ready. I wish there was a way to show you the ScreenShots so you could see what I see.
