Now, when I plug the drive, Windows detects it but also ask me to format it. If I try to read anything, Windows says the disk is unreadable and the filesystem is undetected.
When I try to open Windows Disk Management, the drive unmounts right away, then I have to unplug and plug it again.
By openning Diskpart the drive unmounts aswell.
Then, I disabled automount and plugged the drive with diskpart already open.
This time diskpart detected the drive and I did the following.
Code: Select all
DISKPART> select disk 3
DISKPART> clean
DISKPART> convert MBR
DISKPART> create partition primary
Windows event viewer gave me a message saying
and this error code 800701B1@02070008.I/O operation at logic block 0x0 for disk 3 (name PDO: \Device\0000008e) was repeated
after some swearing...
I tried to use Testdisk.
Testdisk finds the drive but when I proceed, it unmounts again.
Code: Select all
>Disk \\.\PhysicalDrive1 - 2000 GB / 1863 GiB - ST2000LM 024
Testdisk then says "Partition: read error" right away.
Code: Select all
Drive D: - 2000 GB / 1863 GiB - CHS 3907024002 1 1
Current partition structure:
Partition Start End Size in sectors
Partition: Read error
My drive is unusable right now. It seems like a physical error. I'm lost, though.
Any suggestion on what to do?
