so i recently builded my first gaming pc, and i ran out of money and couldn-t buy a hard drive
(stuck with an ssd as for now) so because of that i asked a friend if he can borrow me a hard drive until i could buy mine, he told me before hand that when he connected his drive the pc wouldn't boot , and the same thing happedned to me when i installed it after i installed windows, when i connec the drive when windows is already booted up it shows the drive , but it doesnt say any information about it , when i click properties , after a looong time loading it shows the properties windows and doesnt shows anything , and when i try to right click and selecet"format" it keeps loading indefenitly and won't open anything , tried formating it with a windows installation usb but when i connect the drive it kinda crashes and stays at a black screen, any ideas on how i could manage to use the drive?
