Thanks, zen2000 and iPhone -- Ah, now whether or not to use the USB
hub(!) OK, could you please detail the exact sequence that you carried
out with connecting the drive and the factory reset, etc.? I have done
quite a few resets now in between connecting the drive and scanning. I
presume the sequence is (and this is what I have been doing): eject
drive; push reset button at back and wait a few seconds for startup
sequence; configure the ethernet connections again; reconnect drive;
and wait for scan to finish.

There appears to be differing opinions as to whether to use a
mains-powered USB hub or just to connect the drive directly to the back
of the SBT.

zen2000 -- what power options have you set your Seagate Go drive to?

Thanks everyone.
