This will signify that there has been a catastrophic failure of the HDD proper inside the enclosure.Ģ. Inside its original enclosure Partition Wizard showed it as Read Only. Your Seagate 3TB external drive is an MBR drive. Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions!Īnd as a picture paints a thousand words - this is connected through USBġ. The data on the drive is, naturally, quite important so I'm looking to save the data rather than the drive. I have tried everything I can think of, and everything Google can think of on my behalf. as I plug it in, the disk spins up and then gives me:
The option in Safely Remove Hardware is: Eject USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge Hard Disk Sentinal is, again, just showing ? Minitool Partition Wizard shows the disk as:Īnd there is no way of interacting with the disk. HD Tune Pro reacts exactly the same as when connected by USB Trying to initialise the disk as GPT gives the error that the disk is too small, and the device indicates as 'Not Ready' if done as MBR. In Windows Disk Management, it shows Disk 1 as Unknown, Not Initialised. I have connected it using a SATA to USB 2.0 adaptor, and the results are even worse. Inside is a Barracuda 3TB drive, model st3000dm001. I tried attr disk clear readonly but got the error that Diskpart failed to clear the attribute. Safely Remove Hardware shows Eject Expansion DiskĭISKPART shows the drive as online, 3950MB total size, 3950MB free. If I do any other tests, I get I/O error, test aborted. HD Tune Pro allows me to do an error scan, but gives 100% bad sectors. Hard Disk Sentinal shows the serial number and 3.9GB, but no other information and a lot of '?'s My laptop's USBs have been playing up a little recently, but I have tried the drive with two separate cables, on two separate laptops.Īnd to the right, one partition of 3.86GB, Unallocated. I have already tried a number of things, and have the following results:Ĭonnecting 'normally' through USB. I can not think of anything that has changed, other than that the drive is no longer being recognised by Windows, and is beeping when connected. I have a Seagate External HDD, srd00f2, that until yesterday was working perfectly.
