Have you tried turning it off then on again?
Sebastian Perry
Did you mount it?
Ian Sullivan
Yeah. Unplugged the power, unplugged the usb.
It doesn't do anything.
How can I determine if it's fully crashed?
Ayden Long
have you tried installing linux?
Tyler Ortiz
Take it out of the enclosure, the adapter piece goes bad all the time.
Carter Ward

Carter Ramirez
some laptops have "charge only" usb ports. Try another.
Jace Watson
Nope. Nothing.
It's spinning. And it's hot. So it's doing something. But I'm just not getting it recognized by the laptop.
Easton Cruz
does the device manager do something?
Ayden Reed
It's only picking up the one internal HDD, not the external one.
Jace Gonzalez
Update:
Just got the error message:
>the last usb device you connected to this computer malfuntioned and Windows does not recognize it
Carter Brooks
do you have a desktop? you can probably test the disk putting it inside using a couple of SATA cables.
Having many external disks in the past my money is on a broken adapter. You can get a case for cheap to replace it.

When i plug my adaper it shows ATA/ATAPI adapter in Devices and Printers. It shows the disk in Disk Managment, but when i try to initialize, it fails with 'Cyclic redundancy check'. (Cheap AliExpress adapter) Any thoughts?
Brandon Reyes
disk is physically damaged
you can try a slow format and see it it becomes usable again, but it's not likely.
Lincoln Jackson
Can formating be done from BIOS? I took HDD from my laptop that i previously damaged OS on (instaled xp on separate partition for dual booting, then i messed something with bootloader and i get passed BIOS screen but after that only black screen shows up)
Juan Morales
you can try hiren's boot or a linux live USB
Jose Murphy
Thnx, will report back
