I had my USB Seagate Momentus 500gb go unrecognizable for a over a year now. It shows up as RAW. But today I tried to use it again on my WIndows 8.1 laptop and it showed up RAW as usual in DIsk Management, but as soon as I opened up Recuva (disk recovery program) and the HDD got recognized by windows and opened up automatically in windows explorer, this is some kind of miracle I thought and it really was. Because when I tried to rescan disk drives in Disk Management again to see if the HDD is recognized by it, it AUTOMATICALLY STOPPED WORKING AGAIN and TURNED RAW again.
So the NTFS partition is there, its just not being read all the time, how is that possible? Windows also assigns it a drive letter, but as soon as I rescan in Disk Mgmt disk assigned letter disappears, and HDD becomes uninitialized.
Please let me know what is the possible problem here. I tried to redo same procedure with opening up REcuva again but it didnt work.
In this screenshot I also have 1 TB WesterDigital HDD that had a broken encasing. But the HDD in question is the DISK 2 (E
