    Internal HDD unable to initialized

I tried to initialize using MBR and GPT but was not able to do so because of I/O error. At this point, I just want to get that HDD running again even without getting the data back.

    hdd not initialized

    Hi,

    is it a new HDD? Internal or external? New internal HDDs need to be initialized manually thru Disk management.

    Unable to Detect 4th Internal SATA HDD


    Hi,

    My motherboard is: GIGABYTE p55a-ud3p

    As you can see below, Windows 10 detected all 4 HDDs:

    And they are enabled in the BIOS (I think?):
