We reformatted the drive, wiping it clean, and it still yielded the same error. I called Seagate and after a 1 + hour session, the tech gave up and told me to return the drive. Rebooting and checking the drive status on Toolkit, I got the same error. Thinking that it was looking for a 2TB or less partition, I created said partition. When I activate Seagate ToolBox, it recognizes the drive by its given name, but in red letters states “No Partitions”. I shows up on Disk Management as 3725.90 GB NTFS Healthy (Primary Partition). I installed the 4 TB drive and initialized the drive. The Seagate software (both) works perfectly with the 750 GB and 2TB drives. The desk tops have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit operating systems.

I purchased a Seagate 4 TB Backup Plus Slim Drive to take up the backup chores. The 7550 GB drive was full, and the 2 TB drive is fast approaching that status. Drive Manager Software came from the original 750GB back up drive.

Each desk top has the old Seagate “Drive Manager” software and the Seagate ToolKit software installed. I have a Seagate 2TD GoFlex desktop hard drive that I use to back up date from three separate desktops.
