So I was messing around on my laptop and I took out the battery while the machine was on. The laptop then shut off so I rebooted it and Windows said something like UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME so I let the automatic repair run and to no avail it didn't work. So since I don't have anything valuable on my hard drive, I just decided to reinstall Windows. It kept getting stuck on "Setup is starting" so I just decided to run diskpart to wipe the hard drive. Diskpart didn't work so I put the hard drive in my main rig. I cannot get it to load in diskpart either. Even the disk management tool in Windows freezes when I run it with the drive connected. Also tried formatting it, and that freezes too.
I am honestly stuck on what to do. Is it dead? I mean, when connected the drive powers on and spins. No odd noises or anything.

the data is lost for an amateur recovery op, but the drive is salvageable, you just need to force the format in your mac console.
bump pls help

Try format in uefi
Got impatient and smashed it. Thanks to all who tried and helped.
