HDD Not Initialized

[DoubleCheese]

so I found an old hard drive and it is old and in good physical condition with a capacity of 160GB from Seagate Maxtor Diamond Max 10 model 6L 160M 7200RPM SATA 150, when I try it on another PC the hard drive is not detected but it says HDD Not Initialized and the capacity is 0MB I don't understand  about this because i've never had this happen before but i've tried several ways it still doesn't work either actually i'm just trying to see if this hdd still works if not i just keep it

Given the age of the drive, it's probably simply dead/dying

I think it is dead. Try one of the hard drive monitor or try it is starting up on a Linux live environment.

this is not wrong indeed this hdd is probably more than 15 years old, so I'll just keep it, thank you.

in physical condition it's good but inside it's really really terrible the plater hdd is scratched and the head doesn't work properly yes the hdd is really dead.
