Samsung hard disk return code 8

[Guest]

Drive spins up but in windows as a slave shows 0 bytes. Was in a USB caddy. Direct attached as a SATA gets return code 8. Best I can establish this means no space available. Anyone any ideas !!

Go to Samsung's website and download their diagnostics software for your model of HDD. Should be useful in figuring out whether the drive is useable or not. Good luck!
