Hi forum,
I got this problem two days ago, I have a G510 laptop that used to have seagate 1tb 2.5'' hdd and i replaced it with an SSD and used the HDD for my secondary drive. It used to work fluently but i got a virus that i believe ruined my HDD when i was booting my laptop it was always starting the Chkdsk procedure and it was turning on even if i was skipping it My hdd was still accessible. i tryed to format it and then my HDD turned into RAW format.
I tryed:
-Zero fill format since i didn't care about the data i had
-Tried all the commands in prompt
-Runned all the checks with Seatools and passed all the tests but when i try to erase it from seatools it pops up the drive is not accessible because its in RAW format.
- i used EasyUS that managed to make my HDD NTFS again and i could enter the HDD again from My Computer. When i restarted my laptop it froze on the start up screen again and to be honest i didn't wait for it long
- So i decide to install windows again and in the windows that asks where you want to install windows on i tryed to format HDD again and i got an error again. I proceeded and install windows on my ssd and my HDD was shown as RAW again.
Does anyone knows how I can fix this? It doesn't seem to be broken it might be the controller trying to boot from both Drives i dont know. Any help would be appreciated.
thank you in advance
