I have a 1TB Seagate Barracuda drive that can be seen in BIOS (reports SMART status bad), but it cannot be viewed reliably in the OS (sometimes it will not show up in device manager/disk management/etc., other times it does, but only briefly before it dies again).
The disk has power and is spinning.
Any way steps I can try in order to get the data off of this without sending it off to a third party?
As a tangent, is it possible to view the SMART data of the drive without booting to an OS?
