So I had an older HDD lying around (1TB), and I decided to go through windows backup to create a backup drive. After turning on my computer today it gets stuck at the spinning circle so I:
Disconnected all USB devices - nope
Entered Automatic repair mode - nope
Tried to boot from thumb drive - nope
I disconnected the sata cable from the HDD with the backup I created and it booted up just fine.
What, besides a hardware defect could cause this issue?
