The Seagate 14TB external drive is not reliably detected by Windows 10.
I tried to copy a folder over as a test but in less then a minute the drive was no longer detected.
I turned off the power to the drive then back on. Now detected so I did what #8 said to do but the drive was no longer detected by the time I got to: format fs=ntfs

I got to this part:
DISKPART> format fs=ntfs
There is no volume selected.
Please select a volume and try again.

DiskGenius can detect it. I can do a format there.
Question: Is the drive no good at this point?
