Recently, I put my HDD offline, testing something out, not knowing it would need me to format it. When I put it back online, it opened File Explorer and told me that the only way for it to work was to format it. So, I did a quick format, and now I am here. I don't know to which one it got formatted to. It's a WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 2tb Hard Drive. I didn't try to get back my data since it would take some time, and I only had games in this drive, it wasn't worth my time.
Recently tho I have tried installing some of the games back and have noticed a lot of issues. I noticed that some of my apps won't even open, they are taking a long to load, and some of them won't even open properly. I don't know if this is connected to me having my hard drive formatted or if its unrelated and just got timed with the format, and idk what to do. I have tried so many things such as installing and reinstalling the game multiple times, trying to see if its only a specific game, and not everything I download on the HDD. Things are working fine on my SSD so that's why I think it has to do with my HDD being formatted.
I did have a previous issue a couple of days before the format in which my drive wasn't being recognized, but I fixed it by disconnecting the cables and connecting them back.
