Hello!
After a power outage/ power surge, my 2 Tb internal hard drive appears to have taken a dive. At first, I was hoping this was just a matter of reinstalling some drivers, as I was getting the error that the pci communication controller driver was missing. Eventually, I was able to get this taken care of ( I think??) after reading about 12 or so threads on Tom's Hardware about this issue and finding the (solutions?) that corresponded to my situation. Under device manager, it now shows up as ST2000VN000 ATA Device in disk drive, but it does not show up in my computer.
So here is what is most whacky to me. Under disk management, it shows up as a not initialized 128 gb hard drive. When I try to initialize it, I get a popup saying virtual disk manager "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." So I can't even reinitialize the thing.
Here is what I have tried:
I tried moving some wires around under the hood to see if it was my motherboard or power supply that was faulty, but this doesn't seem to be the case.
I tried Easus Partition Master recovery 8.5, it found no lost data, but also seems to think there is a 128 gb lost partition-1 under lost disk drives, but can't seem to find anything on it.
I tried find and mount. It says there is nothing to mount
. It seems to think this is a 4 gb device as opposed to a 128 gb device.
Is there anything else I can do? There is some data on it that I would really like to get back.
