So recently my HDD crashed and now whenever it is plugged in via SATA my entire system hangs whenever I run a task. I have a boot SDD with essential programs but otherwise I can't run much. There is no way to run a disk check because it just crashes my system. The instant I take out the SATA my PC runs perfectly. Like I said, there's no way to diagnose the issue because disk check doesn't even work or anything. It does show up on device manager and under events it says "device not migrated".

Another way to recover data from a problem hard drive is to connect it to a USB dock and attach that to a USB3 port on your computer. The computer should not hang and you might be able to get the info you need from the hard drive.
