Seagate External Drive Not Mounting
Hey Everyone,
I have a relatively new Seagate Backup Plus 2TB External Drive that I have been moving files to for the last couple of weeks. I am using a 13" MacBook Air (2017) running 10.13.3, and it has been recently updated. I was transferring files when the drive warning came up about removing the drive without properly ejecting it. I unplugged the drive and plugged it back in. The drive showed up in Finder and I tried to open it, but it caused Finder to crash. I unplugged the drive and relaunched Finder and started again.
Unfortunately the drive won't even show up in disk utility (already configured to show all devices). I have tested the drive cable with another drive and everything is fine, the other drive mounts perfectly. I tried to plug in the Seagate again and it just sits and beeps periodically. I have installed the Seagate driver that was recommended and even played with the Paragon software. Nada...
I have to ge this drive running because I was in the process of reorganizing drives and there are files on that drive that I need and haven't backed up yet. Any assistance would be appreciated.
