So I have my grandmother's PC because it seems like the drive is done. I just need some feedback on what might be happening.
I put the drive into my PC to see if the BIOS would read it, nah it doesn't. As the PC posts I could hear the drive giving periodic noises. The drive does not appear in File Explorer but does in Disk Manager. Within Disk Manager there is a "Disk 4" that is "Not Initialized" and is sized at 3.86 GB Unallocated. The other drives 0-3 are all my current working drives. I downloaded SeaTools for Windows because Disk 4 is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB that came from an ASUS CM1740-US-2AE prebuilt. I ran the few tests in SeaTools on the drive and it kept coming back as 100% PASS. So I tried to initialize it using Disk Manager and MBR, it gives me the error "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error." Also, SeaTools recognizes the drive as having 4.14GB / 3.86 GiB. My uncle told me he was using it and made a recovery CD just this month, all that does it just restore Windows settings yeah? Pretty sure that is useless right? I feel like this drive is dead with the I/O error, very low volume detection, no BIOS detection. I know all my grandmother wants from the drive is some information on a genealogy application so she does not have to input all people and make phone calls to them again. Any feedback is useful, thanks.
