    I am 75 and I am learning so much. Also I feel like I am channeling my father's interests. In the late 40's he became a radio and television technician for RCA. In the fifties he tried to explain to me the base two electronic base for computers....he bought a Heath Kit to demonstrate that. Funny when he got old he had no use for social media , emails and gaming but my mother jumped in with two feet. Yesterday I extracted 5 hard drives from old computers and one hard drive was not loading properly.

      If you guys are on the shitter just like me (harddrive does not even show up on Disk Management on another computer) you might still be able to save the data by opening/break gently the harddisk case and insert it into a harddisk USB docking station. It might just be that the harddisk controller has been fried, but that the disk itself is fine.

      I have an external hard drive (internal hdd in an enclosure). I dropped it while it was switched off and unplugged the other week. Since then it has been working OK. Now, today, it isn't working.
      When I plug it in and go to My Computer, the green loading bar at the top is continuously there. If I right click on the hard drive (now called "Local Disk" then Windows Explorer will crash. It is like the hard drive is making everything hang.
      I try and run SeaTools or HDTune whilst HDD plugged in but nothing happens (something is blocking??) but when I unplug the hdd immediately both programs will open.
      I can't use these programs because of this problem, as when I plug it back in it wont find it.
      When I go into Computer Management and click Disk Management, It does nothing and just says Connecting to virtual Disk Service at the bottom.. But when I unplug it then it opens and shows me my C drive.
      I cannot also use chdisk because when I am in cmd and i type T: to change to that hard drive, it will hang (nothing happens).

    this was incredibly helpful! I wanted to use an external SSD that previously was formatted for my PS5 games and had to go through several of these steps to finally get the storage drive to be recognized and ready to use by my PC. Disk Management - added partition, named the drive then formatted it once the drive appeared in my partition list and then it was good to go!

    You saved my bacon. Was pulling my hair out for hours! Lol. Wish I'd looked for a solution on YT earlier. Luckily, all I had to do was assign a drive letter, but it wouldn't let me do it without formatting. But again, luckily, I had already backed up most of the files on the drive before the issuue. Anyway, I'm glad I found you. It is very much appreciated. Thank you. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
