Hello,
I have an external seagate 500 GB HDD, but last night, I got some trouble with it. Windows is showing that the disk drive is not accessible. It got some I/O device error.
I have no clue, please help me out guys.
Thanks
Test your external hard disk with SeaTools. It will scan your hard disk for possible driver corruption, damaged master boot records, viruses and spyware or hardware conflicts. Download and install it on your Windows PC and then run the test.

If it passes all the SeaTools test, and you are still experiencing issues, run Disk Error Checking on Windows. Double-click My Computer and right-click on your hard disk drive. Click Properties and under the Tools tab, click Check Now. Under the Check Disk dialog, tick the Automatically Fix File System Errors check box. And then click Scan For and Attempt Recovery of Bad Sectors check box. Click Start. If none will fix the problem, maybe you need to replace it with a new one.
You can solve your problem by following one of these steps:
I hope after you go through these steps your drive will be functional.
