Hi,

I've a PC that doesn't boot. It have the windows 10 in the only hdd (WD Caviar Green 1TB WD10EARS).

When I boot it the BIOS recognize the HDD but it goes directly to "preparing auto repair" and doesn't do nothing more.

If I try to boot from a bootable USB (windows instalation or EASUS partition Master bootable USB) it doens't boot.
It starts reading the USB and sometimes starts loading the EASUS partition master but it blocks and doesn't do nothing more.

I've already tryed to put that disk on other PC but it is the same thing. BIOS recognize it but it doesn't load neither the windows OS on the SSD neither the bootable USB.

If I remove that HDD everithing works just fine!

Should I buy another HDD or can I get a way for format that crazy HDD ?


Thank you very much and sorry about my poor english.

Thank you RealBeast but I cannot start any OS (even if it is located in other HDD) if I have that crazy HDD connected.

When it is connected the computers stop working well! Neither OS neither Bootable USBs can start correctly.

But BIOS recognizes it.
 
I would try hot plugging it if your motherboard bios supports it. Just turn it on in the bios under the SATA options and once the system is running attach the drive end of the SATA connector (have the power attached already), and do all this with the drive outside the case so you don't disrupt anything else.

If your motherboard bios does not have hot plug options under the SATA section, I would just get a new drive. RMA it if still under warranty.
 
Thank you very much for your help RealBeast

I've done the hot plugging but it didn't work either.

When I connect the HDD sata cable windows starts "thinking" and do nothing more than "thinking"!

This HDD is definitely damage... I've to buy another... Thanks god I've nothing important there!

Once again.. Thank you! :)
