I recently got a new ssd, installed windows 8.1 onto it. I have another secondary seagate 3tb drive and now it wont initialize, throwing a crc error. I can't do anything with chkdsk or diskpart because it has no drive letter and is not recognised.

Any help?

Hi there Brkillpack,

Usually, this error is associated with some mechanical flaw. How do you know that this is a healthy drive?
One thing you can try is to just attach it with different cables(both SATA and power ones) to a different SATA port. Another thing you can do is to test it with some of these: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/282651-32-best-diagnostic-testing-utility
In case the issue persists, my suggestion would be to RMA it in case it is under warranty.
