Thank you all for your help. I connected the drive to my PC using a different USB hub. I was finally then able to use diskpart (taught to me by Pextaxmx) to clean the disk! Amazing. Question: I need to initialize the drive (after I cleaned it). Should I initialize it before I install it as...

I had this drive mounted on 2.5" to 3.5" SATA drive converter. Given the hints I learned here, and the "i/o" error message, I am investigating if the connector on the converter is bad. I removed the converter and am connecting to the drive directly with a USB to SATA cable. Will update later...

I tried this one more time. and I did get further but still get the same message regrading an I/O device error View: https://imgur.com/jYdITTR

Thank you for this tip. I tried this, but when I select disk 7, I get no response. The cursor continues to blink and I can't enter anything new. View: https://imgur.com/Bbl3hVE

I would be happy if I could just get this drive to work as an external drive.

This motherboard is capable of running this number of drives. I am having no issues with the other drives, external or SATA.

The crucial drive I am having trouble with can't be accessed by multiple computers, with different configurations and different OS'. The problem is with the drive itself.

I just tried that and it states it could not be performed because of an I/O device error. View: https://imgur.com/3FYXybg

Thank you. It does appear in disk management. It still look like an OS drive. but it can't be accessed - in the original photo the errors states: i/o error but, how can I insert a photo here? I am not sure why I can't figure it out. I put it on google drive, but that is not the link it wants.

The PC works fine without the crucial drive. The PC was a DIY build. It has an MSI MEG X570 Unify Motherboard and I installed numerous drives. 3 on-board drives - NVMe M.2 1 Samsung 1TB, and 2 Crucial 2 TB Windows 10 OS is installed on the smallest NVMe M.2 Samsung 1TB 970 Evo Plus I also...

I took my Crucial SSD ( BX500 2.5) 1TB drive out of a laptop. It had the windows OS installed, but no data I cared about. I inserted it into my new desktop as a slave drive (along with several others). The new computer did not boot until I removed this drive, so I figured I would just need to...
