Strange problem;

All of a sudden my secondary drive (Seagate Barracuda 3TB) has disappeared.

It shows up in my BIOS but it doens't show in Windows 10.  Not even under "disk Management".

I have tried changing SATA cable and Ports and no luck. (BIOS sees the port move.)  I have also tried it in another computer with the same results.  I have tried the Seagate tool and a couple of other utilities and no luck, They don't even see the drive.

When the drive is connected, the computer is slow to load the BIOS.  When the drive is unplugged it boots at normal speed.

I can hear the drive spin. (Would this rule out the control board?)

Any ideas?

Thanks guys!
 
 

Hello neighbour!

The dreaded ST3000DM001 strikes again. Probably bad heads+media damage. The more you work with it/power it on, the lower the odds of a successful recovery.

If you're trying to save the drive, then most likely will not happen.
you "might" be able to save it temporarily just enough to rescue the data, but not for reuse
