Hey everyone,
I have difficulties with a 2tb 2.5 Seagate external hard drive.
The symptoms are:
- It spins up normally when I connect it to my laptop or to another laptop, no unusual sounds.
- The activity light is not working on the device.
- It connects to Windows. I can hear the notification but there are no partitions.
- The raw drive is visible in disk management but it gives the prompt “initialise the disk to MBR or GPT” in disk management.
When I do that then I get the „cyclic redundancy check” error message.
- Diskpart also finds the disk but can’t find the missing partitions.
- The HDD doesn’t stop spinning when I give the safe removal command in Windows.
- Data recovery programs cannot find a single file on the drive.
- Changing the USB cable or updating drivers don’t make any difference.
- In the Events there is a warning "Device was not migrated due to partial or ambiguous match".
- In the Event Viewer:
Event ID 154: “The IO operation at logical block address 0x0 for Disk 2 (PDO name: \Device\0000008f) failed due to a hardware error.”
Event ID 7: “The device, \Device\Harddisk2\DR2, has a bad block.”
Have you ever encountered with similar issues?
(Unfortunately, clearing the device is not an option.)
Thank you for reading to the end.
