Servers can't read encrypted drive
I've got an encrypted usb drive, just used the seagate utility and put a password on it. It works fine on my Windows 7 laptop, but on both servers (2008 and 2016) it says "is not accessible. Parameter is incorrect" Most solutions seem to involve scanning the whole hard drive for errors and/or reformatting. I shouldn't have to do that, because it works perfectly on another computer. What can be causing this?

Suggestions haven't received any feedback. The situation has not improved and the drive should remain encrypted, so decrypting it in order to read it anywhere (it can still be read on win7 as we could read) is just a workaround to make it temporarily readable.

Best option would be to clone first, and then try removing the encryption.
Was it working on those servers before adding the password?
If you didn't try (and noting that I am not familiar with the SeaGate software) could you remove the password and try on those servers, or is that not practical?
Thanks,
Alan.
