Hi everyone,
Apologies first for being another guy on the internet asking for help.
My 2TB Seagate ST2000DM001 which I've had for a while no longer appears on my explorer in Windows 10 or in Disk Management or Device manager.
It does however still appear in Bios but only showing 4.1GBs instead of the 2TB.
I have switched Sata cables, put it into an external HDD USB 3.0 enclosure to no avail. I have also done that with a different computer.
I have checked the Seagate website and the noise it makes when i turn it on is similar to Click Click and a beep, according to the Seagate website that is a possible failed drive.
I used Seatools for windows when the HDD was in an external case,
Was able to perform a Short Drive Self test (it said passed) but the Fix all Fast and Long options failed as well as the Short and Long Generic tests.
Does anyone have experience in what the problem could be and if it would be possible for me to fix it without resorting to a data recovery service? I'm based in Sydney and the prices I've seen are quite a lot, just hoping to see other options before I had them off.
Thank you in advance,
J
