Currently, in my pc i have a 240gb ssd, and a 1tb hard drive. At this time everything I have is stored on the ssd because my hard drive will not work no matter what i do. When i try to initialize it, it gives me a cyclic redundancy check, when i try to put it on the online setting it gives me a cyclic redundancy check. Its formatted and its a brand new hard drive. Device manager it says its working properly and I checked the ports. Can someone help me.

A failed CRC usually indicates there's either a problem with the SATA controller on your motherboard, your SATA cables themselves, or (more likely) the hard drive's controller and/or disk platters themselves failing. Can you hookup the drive to literally any other computer (even go to a friends house) and try formatting it there? I'd be willing to bet it's still going to error out, but this is a good way to rule out the drive itself.
