format seagate drive that doesnt show up in explorere

If that doesn't work or you're still having other issues then you probably still have a monitoring software interfering with the AIO/Link communications, find what it is and disable it. You can test if this worked by setting the fan speed in Link to 100%, if it doesn't fluctuate you are set and can change the curve to whatever. The problem is bad coding in Link that fights for AIO control with other programs. That should fix the fan issue for some Corsair AIOs (H80i GT/v2, H110i GTX/H115i, H100i GTX and others made by Asetek). For others: Disable any monitoring of Corsair AIO sensors. For HWinfo: manually disable all monitoring of the AIO sensors/components. For AIDA64: First make sure you have the newest update installed, then, go to Preferences>Stability and make sure the 'Corsair Link sensor support' box is checked and make sure the 'Asetek LC sensor support' box is UNchecked. Click Change, and in the drop-down box, select a drive letter for the new drive that is not assigned to a mapped network drive.Are you getting weird fan behavior, speed fluctuations, and/or other issues with Link?Īre you running AIDA64, HWinfo, CAM, or HWmonitor? (ASUS suite & other monitoring software often have the same issue.)Ĭorsair Link has problems with some monitoring software so you may have to change some settings to get them to work smoothly.

Many thanks and I hope my variant helps anyone else with a similar prob. I am sorry I am vague on the box choices, but on right selecting a live drive it doesn't bring up the 'unallocated' box choices again. Right clicking on this gave a set of obvious choices to create a choice of drive letter, format and options (NTFS etc) and this created the drive for me. IMPORTANT! This set of info may not be apparent unless you enlarge the box by dragging it, as the default only shows the top box (so I have missed it until now on all my searching).

Here it still did not show the drive in the right window, but below it there is a second window listing disks and one of them unallocated and without a drive letter was my new drive.

In the list of drives in the right pane, right-click the new drive and then click Change Drive Letter and Path(s).

This far is as above, then I'll add comments to the existing help to show my variant.

Under Computer Management (Local), click Disk Management.

Right-click My Computer, and then click Manage.The second of your links in the last reply of yours (starting, New Drive or mapped network drive) worked with a slight variation in windows7, as follows is how I achieved joy. A cure! Sorry I did not reply earlier, but have been trying all known fixes to no avail.
