Disk 1 Unknown - Uninitialzed

[shelby_edmonds]

So I'm trying to wipe my PC clean after years of accumulated junk. Anyhow...

I have a 240GB SDD that is working. (I'm getting very slow boot times 4~min roughly)

I've been neglecting a HDD that is connected but not functioning properly.

I can see it in the device manager. It says Disk 1 Unknown, Not Initialized.

I checked to see if I could find the disk through cmd --> disk partition. Only my SDD is recognized.

When I try to reinitialized the HDD the MBR is corrupt.

Upon downloading MIni Tool Power Repair. The tool kept crashing when I would try to recover. So

that route isn't working.

I'm stumped. Not sure what else to try.

Any advice welcome

P.s Thanks in advanced

did you into disk management tool to try to initialize it and give it a drive letter?

All attempts to initialize have failed. I went through a guide to set a drive letter with no success.

Though if you're familiar with a way I would be willing to take a crack at it.

well,iam not familiar with any particular way .Your HDD must be faulty then and have I/O errors and be unusable.
