Hello! Sorry for the wall of text below. I don't know if all the details are important enough, but i thought the problem might be found easier, knowing the whole behaviour of the HD.
I've been having this problem for a very long time with my HD. I have this drive for a few years now and it wasn't new when I got it, so I don't really know it's history. Anyways, it worked completely fine until about a year and a half ago. First, Windows started acting up on me; it was always slow and freezing a lot. I formatted the disk and installed Windows again. A week or two later it's doing the same thing. So, for the next year after that, i must've formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows over 15 times. It was really a matter of luck; sometimes it would all be good for a month or more, sometimes for a few weeks and sometimes it wouldn't run smoothly right off the bat. Half a year ago, it just stopped working completely, so i got a small SSD to use my computer. The thing is that the HD was sometimes showing up in My Computer and would be completely usable for a few days, just to go dead again. At this point i tried changing the port and then the cable, to have the same result. I even changed the mobo (unrelated to the HD problem) and it was the same thing. Recently it just stopped working completely. I ran through every forum and every post looking for stuff related to this, but it was always just a matter of formatting it and that was it. In my case, the HD shows up in Disk Management as Healthy and with the blue bar, showing that it's a primary partition ready to be used. I'm pretty skeptical on the existence of a solution for this, but it's worth a try at saving it if anyone has encountered something like this before. Thank in advance for any answer!
