Connect the Seagate external “for Mac” drive to the Windows computer. The drive must be. I just got a Seagate backup plus slim 1 TB and it says for mac. It says its compatible with Windows 8 and 7 and mac and stuff but I have windows 10 on a dell laptop how can I use it?

It sounds as though it has failed.

Part 1: Recover Data from Seagate Backup Plus Drive That Is Not Detected on Mac with Remo Recover Mac Get the free download of Remo Recover (Mac) software on your Macintosh and install it. Next, follow the below step-by-step instructions to recover data from Seagate backup plus drive that is not recognized on Mac OS X. Backup Plus for Mac, GoFlex for Mac, and Slim for Mac drives are formatted at the factory to run under Mac OS. However, the drive will work in Windows without reformatting using the HFS4Win.exe utility. Install the downloadable HFS+ driver on the PC to use the drive.

I don't know if Seagate has a test utility suite for those on their website, but they often require windows to test their drives.

If it is under warranty, then I would investigate further with their tools.

Seagate Backup Plus Format For Mac And Windows

Are you using their bundled software at all? If so, try uninstalling it, then reformat the drive by using the Partition tab.

If you think it might be something on your Mac (or a problem with it), can you try the drive on another computer?
