I recently performed a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium on a recently reformatted SSD (Samsumg 850 Evo). However, after performing the new installation, my Western Digital 3tb Black Drive is not recognized by Windows Disk Management. Any attempt to use the drive results in varying errors, the most common being "Incorrect Function", which occurs when I attempt to initialize the drive.
In my previous install, the drive was GPT, with on big partition, which contained my Windows Backup, along with additional files. Fortunately, I do not need the info on the drive, but I would like to be able to use it again.
HD Tune 2.55 is giving odd results, with the drive not even being recognized as a WD drive (simply showing 2199 GB in the drive list. At least, I assume that's the drive). In addition, Health info is blank and errors obviously returns nothing since the drive cannot seem to be read in the first place.
The drive was working flawlessly yesterday. Can anyone make any suggestions?
Thanks for your time.
