Hi!
Today I found an older hard drive to use as a backup to my sold state drive.
I decided to check to make sure nothing is left on the drive, so I plugged in a USB adapter into it and then the computer.
When opening disk management, it says I need to initialize the drive in either MBR or GBT
However it comes up with an error
"Drive not Ready"
In the small box it says the drive is offline and not initialized. When I right click to turn online , my only options are offline and help (initialize is grayed out)
How do I make the drive "online" and let me access it....I do not need anything on the drive, so if I need to wipe it etc some how that will do.
The adapter has been proven to work
And the drive worked before it was pulled from the system.
The drive is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.8
Model number : ST3200826AS
Any help would be appreciated
