I have an WD HDD, It was my main drive on my PC till I got a BSOD and the drive stopped booting. since I could not boot, I tried to install Ububtu, which failed. my only solution was to buy another HDD. than, I bought a case and I made my old WD HDD an External drive, but using DISKPART it shows a bunch of partitions, shows 5 partitions, 3 hidden being the biggest 20GB (probably swap partitions from the attempt to install Ubuntu?) and 2 partitions that were where windows was installed (250GB for windows + 600GB to save personal files). windows only shows me those 2 partitions, and I can't format them using right click the drive or disc management. Diskpart says they are all RAW partitions. Low level format tool is not able to find my malfunctioning drive (HDDLLF).
any tips? right now I don't have budget to buy another 1TB HDD since I am buying an SSD drive next week... any tips on how to get this done would be appreciated.
