Hi I am trying to solve a problem where my computer freezes when I plug in this specific sata hard drive.
Windows detects the drive, but a prompt appears that says something along the lines of : "There's a problem with this drive. Please scan it" I can move my mouse around during this time but everything else freezes i.e I cant click on anything with the cursor.
I have tried plugging in the hard drive to another computer and the same issue crops up, so the problem probably lies in the hard drive itself.
Have googled and tried many methods found on forums to solve this and the problem still persists. The hard drive does not work even if plugged in before boot, and I am unable to run any diagnostics as the computer is rendered useless when it is plugged in.
If it is not possible to fix the hard drive, is it possible to salvage the data? I have some fairly important documents in there.
Thanks in advance.
