Bit of a weird one, I recently updated to the April monthly update thing through Windows update (I'm on Windows 10 Pro 22H2, annoyingly for some reason this defaulted some of my programs, which it has never done before, but more importantly, one of my internal HDDs started acting weird. It would seemingly act like it couldn't be accessed, like if I went into My Computer, the details of its size wouldn't show up, and the progress bar at the top would lag up Windows Explorer.
I tried to chkdsk /r it, the first time it got to the Security descriptors part, and then failed saying an unspecified error happened. I tried again after a restart and it got all the way to checking free space before giving the same error. Crystaldisk is telling me the HDD is fine, Seatools is also passing tests (It's a Seagate HDD), I even just ran Seatool's "Fix all", which completed, telling me the HDD passed... though oddly the progress bar was only about a third done when this happened.
Some googling led me to think reformatting might be the option, so I backed up the drive contents (which thankfully, it let me do) and tried to reformat it, after far too long of a wait, it told me the reformat failed. I tried this in Disk Management as well and got a similar error, so now the disk is in RAW format, so I can't even chkdsk again if I wanted to. (Also worth noting, Disk Management lists the drive as healthy as well)
I don't know what to make of this, is there anything else I should be trying to get it to cooperate? I'm very confused that everything is telling me the drive is fine when it clearly has something wrong.
