The format we usually talk about is the high-level format. It just clears the data on the partition, generate boot information, initialize the FAT table, mark logical bad sectors, etc. The high-level format(HLF): refers to reformat each partition after the hard disk is partitioned. Roll Back Driver will revert any recent driver updates (if applicable), which probably won't have an effect if System Restore didn't work.Seagate (Seagate Technology Cor) was founded in 1979 and is currently the world's largest manufacturer of hard drives, magnetic disks, and read-write heads. Formatting is actually the operation of initializing a disk or disk partition, it can delete all files in an existing disk or partition, and Formatting is divided into the low-level format and high-level format. The Driver tab that appears in the Properties menu for each device in the Device Manager has a few other options. Instead, you may want to check the manufacturer's website for a specific driver for your external hard drive see our guide to updating Windows drivers for more help. However, this rarely finds a new driver for generic devices like flash drives. If that doesn't help, you can right-click on the affected device in the Device Manager and use the Update Driver button to install an updated driver. If the problem started recently, try running System Restore to roll back the changes.

There are some more general steps you can take if those guides don't work for your issue, though driver problems can be tricky to fix. We've explored how to fix the "This Device Cannot Start (Code 10)" error as well as fixes for "Unknown USB Device", which provide good troubleshooting steps for driver issues.
