I have a Seagate 6 terrabyte external hard drive that I have been using for addition recording room for my old Dish Network receiver and have many shows and movies recorded. Now that I have, thankfully switched to Direct TV, I cannot play Dish programming in Direct TV equipment. So, hoping not to loose all of those unwatched pay per views, I tried to connect to my windows XP computer via the USB (the only connection on it). It caused a software download but never recognized the new hardware. Is this able to be connected?

If you go to Disk Management (In computer management) are you able to see the disk listed below, at least as a foreign disk?
