Tried Full erase with Seagate tools--That failed immediately, Long Generic scan wasn't moving at all Is this Drive really dead? Crystal Disk info said it was ok lol, i was like how it is ok lol Should i reconnect it, and run some more diagnostic on it over night, or attempt full format again, and then run Disk Genius again to see if it sees any more bad sectors after that
