Interrupted format of new HDD, now it can't be detected?

[nicky9499]

W10 64-bit.

I have a brand-new HGST 14TB spinner popped into a sturdy USB3 dock and began the usual format.

Forgot to tick "quick format" but no biggie let's just leave it.

As my shitty luck would have it the power tripped, thereby interrupting the lengthy format.

 

Upon first reboot the PC wouldn't get past BIOS.

Upon second reboot keyboard was undetectable.

Upon third reboot (and unplugging the dock), I got in.

But it appears the drive is permanently undetectable now.

 

Edit: Plugged the dock into a Mac. Also undetected.

Also tried another slot in the dock. Nothing.

The disk is making normal disky sounds, and the dock LEDs flash.

 

Any ideas, guys?

Can you see the drive in Disk Management?

No. Neither Windows nor OSX show the disk in their respective disk utilities.

What about Diskpart? The Command Prompt utility. 

Open CMD as Admin, type "diskpart" and press Enter. Then type "list disk". Now see if your drive shows up.

No joy here, too.

Hmm, I guess the USB3 dock could be damaged but of course also the HDD. Do you have a desktop PC nearby? Maybe give the HDD a go using SATA.

Good news, I do have an older PC (Intel 7th gen) also on W10. Fired it up, plugged the dock into that, first time no-go, second time it detected and appeared in Disk Management as a RAW partition. Deleted that, quick-formatted, it's now behaving normally once more. Thanks BBZ.

Alright, very good! Glad you were able to fix it

For future references you can boot from Live disk/(gparted) and it will see the disk.

Also any partition product that have boot environment will able to see the disk, Acronis, Hiren boot, Paragon .. etc.
Also most probably diskpart under Windows admin cmd.
