One of my seagate hard drives has started acting up. As the title says, disk manager says it's not initialized, and prompts me to initialize it, but when I try to (both GPT and MBR) it gives a data error cyclic redundancy check. I can still see the drive in windows and browse the files, but I cannot move or copy them to another drive.
I have tried checking and repairing the disk for errors-dumbf windows says everything's fine. Same with Seatools diagnostics, and chckdsk from the command prompt. Everything says it's fine, yet no matter what I do, no program I've tried (many, including the unstoppable copier) have been able to get any of the files off
I have a feeling it's bad sectors, but like I said, nothing so far has been able to repair it or get the files off.
And before anyone yells at me about backups, this is a brand new drive and system that I haven't had the chance to set up backups for yet. Like literally just finished building
