  1. Change the permission on external hard driver now it freezes my pc


    Hi, I have a HGST hard drive from my old laptop. It had bad sectors so I replace it with a ssd. And then I connect the old HDD with a USD cable to my PC and I had troubles with some permission so I change them. But it took lot of time so I canceled it before it complete. From then when I connect it to my PC, PC freezes. When I disconnect it PC works normally. I connect it to many PCs but the problem didn't solve. I can't format it. I connect it with a caddy to bypass the USB. It didn't work. I tried formating in bios too. It freezes the bios. Can someone solve this problem. Please help me!!!!

    :)

    • Press the Start button.

    • Type and select Troubleshooting.

    • Click on View all on the left panel.

    • Select and run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter.



    If the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter doesn’t resolve your concern, we suggest that you change the letter of the External Hard Drive. You can do that by following these steps:


    • Press the Start button.

    • Type and select Control panel.

    • Select System and Security.

    • Select Administrative Tools, and a new window will appear.

    • Double-click Computer Management, and a new window will appear.

    • Select Disk Management that is located under
      Storage
      in the left pane.

    • Right click on the External Hard Drive that is not showing on the File Explorer.

    • Select Change letter and network path, and a new window will appear.

    • Select Change, and choose the letter that you want for the External Hard Drive.
