HDD Drive. Cannot access/partition/initialize.
Hey, I recently found my old HDD and decided to format it to get more space.
It, for some reason, failed.
Before I tried rebooting, I still saw it in my files where my other drives C:, D: were, but with no meter showing how full it is and when I tried to access it it said something in the lines of "You don't have permissions"...
After I rebooted, it was completely gone from the files, but I found it in "Disk Management" and found out that I would need to "Initialize it."
So, I tried it, but it always gives me an I/O error.
With DISKPART, it can see it as "Disk 2", and can in fact "clean" it, but, after that when I type "create partition primary", it says the following:
Code:DiskPart has encountered an error: The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. See the System Event Log for more information.
