HDD 'Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)'
I went and grabbed my external hard disk today to get a file for a friend. So, when I plugged my Hard Disk using the USB cable, I didn't see the drive, I thought it might be a connection problem, so I disconnected and reconnected, to be noted, whenever I connected the drive, the PC would give a 'Disk Connect Sound'. So I thought that the drive must have any other problem, so I went to the DIsk Management Utility inside Windows, and then I found this.....
1. The Drive didn't have any drive letter [Image 1]
2. The Drive didn't have any type of unallocated space or allocated space marked in the drive section [Image 1]
3. Whenever I tried to Initialize Disk, with either MBR or GPT, it would say Data Error (cyclic redundancy check). [Image 2,3,4]
[I know it wasn't infected by a virus, and it wasn't any type of malware or ransomware]
So, is there anything I can do about this on my own? Please I need you guys help on this!
