Hard Drive won't work

Hi!

I was cloning my laptop's drive to another drive and during the process, the recipient drive got disconnected due to my fault and I had to force close the process. Now, I cannot access the drive. Whenever I open disk management, it stops responding and I have to force close it. Same happens with windows explorer. I tried formatting using diskpart, but that didn't work and the 'chkdsk' command in Command promt also won't work for that particular drive. 

During booting process, I can't  go into BIOS, unless I disconnect that drive.

Is there any way of fixing it or is there something wrong with the hard drive on a hardware level that can't be fixed?

PS- I made sure that the UEFI was in AHCI mode. I also tried disabling Legacy BIOS boot; but that didn't work either.

If you have other pc, try to connect it there. If it is not working, try using hirens boot cd. But first. Access your bios and configure already your boot settings. Disconnect other drivez except the keyboard, mous3, odd or usb( depend on where did you install your hirens) then try booting it.

Can you try booting GParted and formatting it from there? https://gparted.org/download.php

 

Burn ISO to USB, unplug the corrupted drive's SATA cable with the power cable still plugged in, boot off USB, and then plug the drive back in?

That worked for me on a 2008 Toshiba

I did connect to another PC, and the same thing happened there as well. 

I also cleared CMOS but in vain. As I mentioned, I cannot access the BIOS only when that particular drive is connected otherwise I can access it and boot into windows without any problem. I made sure that it did not have the first boot priority, still.. nothing.

Worst case. Make a video putting gasoline in it and throwing dumbells at it.

 

Edit: also burn it, and put grass on it.

As I mentioned before, with the drive connected, DISKPART won't work. It would just stop responding unless I force close it.

Hey! I tried using gparted and the same thing happened; after plugging in the drive and refreshing gparted, it would keep on refreshing. I kept it for about 30 mins, but nothing happened. But as soon as I disconnected the drive, all the other drives would appear. I think there is a problem with the drive itself. 

I will now try contacting seagate and see what they say. 

Thanks for the help btw!!
