I. Bought a g tec hard drive on the classified forum as a spare that was in June I used it today for the first time and it doesn’t work my tech friend also confirmed this do I have any comeback on this
That might be the toughest viewpoint. But if it was bought as stated on this very forum, than a more gentle-personly dialogue might ensue.None at all, first question would be was it working when you tested it on receipt of the item
Yes I know that Rich, we're grasping for the dregs here ... but you never know until the end ...I'm a reasonable person, but have to say in this case it would be a polite sorry nothing doing.
One of those things that I would expect to be tried out within a reasonable period after arrival
When in disk Utility, click on the name of the disk (left hand side window) and then go to the icon marked First Aid and click on that (might just need repairing) if that does not work then go back and click on it again (left window) and then click erase.It. Doesn’t show on the screen there is no sound but it shows up on disk utility
OP is on a Mac not a PCIt was probably formatted to AFP not FAT or NTFS, in which case it wouldn't show up on a Windows computer. It will be fine now it's been formatted to use with a PC.
