HDD drive error

[rayban32100]

My 500 GB HDD doesn't work. It asks me to initialize the disk in disk management. But when I try to initialize the disk it shows the message 'the drive cannot find the sector requested'. Can you help me with this problem?

Do you have anything on the drive you need to save? If not, run diskpart utility, clear all the partitions off the drive and create a new one in disk manager.

If you do have something on the drive you need to save, see if testdisk will work. If the drive it bad it is not likely to work, or will only get some of the files, but better than nothing.
