I tried to use a PC I haven't used for years and it didn't boot so I took out the 1TB WD HDD from it and put it in my other PC.
In explorer only a 2GB FREEDOS folder was visible.
In the partition manager it showed a 25GB OEM pertition too.
Please help,I don't know what to do :(

Hey there, 20dka!

Do you have important data that is stored on that old HDD of yours that you wish to access? I'd suggest you share some screenshots from Disk Management for us to see how it appears there. Since it's properly recognized by your system, I'd suggest you use the WD's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics for Windows and run the QUICK and EXTENDED tests to determine the health and SMART status of your 1 TB WD drive.

Keep us posted with the troubleshooting!
