[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1683919, member: 46727"] Welcome to the Mac-Forums. It does sound like your Seagate drive may be dead. If the drive can not be seen by Disk Utility, it is very unlikely any kind of recovery software will be effective. What you can try... is remove the case with the electronics and expose the bare drive. Then purchase an adapter and attach the bare drive to your Mac to see if you can read the data from it. Many times the electronics in the drive will fail but the drive itself is OK. Of course removing the drive from the case voids the warranty but I'm sure you would rather have your data than just swap the drive for a new one from Seagate. [/QUOTE]
