Hard Disk Is Not Initialized & Gives Data Error-Cyclic Redundancy Check?
Situation1: Hello, I do have used a Toshiba internal hard disk on my Samsung computer and recently it becomes really strange. It is not found in My Computer and also shows an unknown not initialized drive in Disk Management. When I try to initialize it there, an error message just pops out and says:"…data error cyclic redundancy check…" Please help me out. This drive really still contains much important computer data yet! Thank you in advance!
Situation2: Hey, hope you can give me useful suggestions! Honestly, recently, I have purchased a new WD internal hard disk for my desktop computer and try to initialize it before moving anything important there. However, when I attempt to start the formatting process in Disk Management, I am given two options: MBR & CPT. When I randomly choose one to go on the initializing process, it says data error (CRC). What does that error means? What should I do to rescue this hard disk? Thanks!
