Hello there,
I'm running a 3TB toshiba DT01ACA300 hdd with a separate 128GB Corsair SSD setup.
One night, my computer could not access files off of my HDD. It then proceeded to boot up slowly and freeze, and, to my alarm, the HDD drive did not appear under My Computer. It pops up in device manager/disk manager as uninitialized. When I try to initialize it, it takes 20 mins, and ends up saying the drive could not be found, and it disappears off of device manager/disk manager. When I restart, it's back again. I've plugged it in to another computer with the same results.
PS I ran a SMART check on it and it has 300 bad sectors, not sure if that's relevant.
I've got two thousand pictures, all of my code, movies and games on that thing! Any help is greatly appreciated.
