So windows 10 just crashed and when I rebooted my computer one

So I went to disk management and tried to initialize the drive and I got a "the request could not be performed because of an I/O device error"

What does that mean?

Says my device is working properly, drivers are good, but it's unallocated and not initialized, what do?

Can't create a new simple volume

Get a tool called test disk. Fantastic for recovering data.

Your device is fine, just reformat it and use properly. Your are now adult, adults don't need any gaymes.

How do I use this?

I got a partition: read error and don't know where to go from here

Not tech support. HDD in pooper. Post pics.

Trying to install Seagate virtual driver, see if that fixes it

Windows memory diagnostic did not detect any problems.

Put it in another machine and see if it sees it. Also you can put in a linux live cd and see if you can access the drive that way.

this same shit happened to me except it was a 1tb seagate hdd. Bringing it into work today to see if its readable.

>test disk
>check disk

>>56038504
are you able to check smart data? if yes and it says its bad it probably just shitted itself

>>56038504
install gentoo

photorec & testdisk
Wastes no read cycles and fucks up your directory structure but will recover everything, even from a barely readable drive.
