  1. I installed GParted on another computer and plugged in the drive. When I refresh, the computer just keeps searching for the drive. I have left it here for around 30 minutes so far... so I'm not sure if it can read the drive
  2. Uhh if you create a new partition table by going into Disk Management, Disk Management doesn't work when I have it plugged in. Only when I unplug the external hard drive does Disk Management work.
  3. When I open up the properties in the Device manager, I get the windows below:
  4. So basically, I tried to put bitlocker on my 2 TB hard drive (which was a huge mistake... never do it again). It took so long that I cancelled it but something happened in it? So I tried to recover it with an option in cmd (I forgot what it was... maybe diskpart?) but my dad shut off the computer in the process of recovering by accident. Now, I have a hard drive that when I plug in to my computer, crashes Disk Management and shows up as Local Disk (D:) and Local Disk (E:) which I have no idea how it got there. It does show up as a 2 TB Seagate Drive when I pull up device manager so that's a plus... Oh and diskpart freezes every time I try and use it with admin permissions in cmd... So I have some plusses that it is showing up but some others to indicate that it's failing. Does anyone have any advice on how to fix it in as little cost as possible? I have given up trying to recover the data off of the hard drive so even trying to wipe and reset the hard drive is good enough for me. Thank you very much! (Quick update: when I unplugged my hard drive, it does show up as Disk 1 in disk management but it says unreadable... Shown as a picture below)
