Question Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 - MBR / Initialise Issue!

Hi guys,

So I have added this HDD (st1000dm003) into a working PC, worth noting that on boot the BIOS hangs for a long time, or fails and it generally takes longer to get into windows with it plugged in. No clicking coming from the drive, it sounds fine to me! It has some old photos on which I want to recover, I know I can send it to a professional but I doubt I will have £600 spare in the near future!

I can get into disk management and it appears, I right click it and initialise with MBR and am told "the specified file cannot be found"

I have tried tools to rebuild the MBR such as ones by EaseUS with no luck.

Can anyone suggest a fix? If it is a physical problem what is it likely to be I need to replace inside the drive?

Thanks,

Ash
