Windows 10: Windows 10 doesn't recognize external hdd

I have a hdd that I took from my old laptop, and I'm trying to use it as an external hard drive for my new one, but it doesn't recognize it.


I'm using a SATA III to USB-C adapter, I can feel and hear it spinning, but after like 15 seconds it stops.





This is what I get in the device manager, I suppose that one is the port where I'm trying to plug it in.


I tested the hdd plugging it in my phone and it worked. I only have one USB-C port in my laptop, so I can't try it on a different port. And I've already tried updating the drivers of all of those ports, and unistalling them too.

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

I ran SeaTools. These are the results:




Does it mean my HDD is useless?

Hi,

I have 1TB transcend USB 3.0 external HDD.
Windows did recognized it but no more.

Here is what I've tried:

1. Different OS: Ubuntu doesn't recognize it either
2. Different computer: my Android device and another PC I have With Windows 10 do recognize it
3. BIOS settings tried with/without legacy support
4. Uninstalling the driver (picture attached) it's Microsoft generic since there is no driver to 9BC1 for Windows 10 http://pcidatabase.com/search.php?device_search_str=9cb1&device_search=Search
   [*]USB selective suspend setting disabled in power options
