CRC error drive will not initialize.

[nopans]

Drive shows up in Device Manager and in Windows Disk Management but will not initialize due to cyclic redundancy error.
Is there a fix for this or not. You cannot check it with chkdsk or assign a letter to it as it will not initialize. I have searched high and low but all fixes require a drive letter for any kind of try at fixing it!? Hopefully, someone has a fix for this.
Thanks
