Will initializing my sata drive reformat it?
Last response: in Storage
My laptop crashed and wouldn't recognize my hard drive. I have installed the SATA drive in an enclosure and connected it to another laptop. Everything seems fine, no unusual noises or clicking, but it doesn't show up in explorer. When I go to computer management I find it there, but it is uninitialized. Will initializing it destroy the data on the hard drive?
