Hello,
For quiete some time now I've been messing arround with a 1TB Samsung HDD(HD103SJ). It's a HDD used in another PC but somehow Windows could not load anymore and I had a look into it.
When I plug the HDD into my PC; Via USB kit or direct sata it doesn't recognize it. Not in explorer nor in diskmanagement. I can clearly hear the HDD spinning and it does not make any weird sounds.
The weird thing is; When I unplug the HDD from sata or a usbkit the Windows Pops up with a message to format the HDD before it's able to use. Also in diskmanagement all the partitions and used/unused volumes show up, for just a second.
Any thoughts on this? How can I bring this HDD back to life?
