Get the answer Best answer Louise PorkoltFeb 11, 2015, 8:14 AM Hi there, most likely hardware.you can however (if warranty expired) try to clean the contacts on the controller-board of the harddrive.Sometimes those copper connections become black from corrosion and the smallest impact on the drive can move a (or some) pin(s) on the surface of the connector where there is corrosion. Its' enough for one pin to have a bad connection to stop working properly !you can remove the controller with a set of Torx screwdriv

John RobertsonWritten 107w agoAs the saying goes Avodeji , with difficulty. The problem you describe is not uncommon. Sometimes it can be https://www.quora.com/How-can-you-fix-an-external-HDD-that-fails-to-initialize-It-gives-data-error-cyclic-redundancy-check-each-time-I-try-to-fix-it fixed and sometimes it can’t. It depends on the details. If you have another copy of the data on the external drive and a Broadband connection then my inclination would be to get rid of the external hard disk and to back up your files in the Cloud – probably Dropbox. There are various other effective Cloud systems.If you have another copy of the data but no Broadband then I’d get a new external drive. A single faulty sector on your present drive can cause the problem you describe. It shouldn’t but it can.If you have important data on the external drive and have no other copy then the solution is harder. There may not be a solution. I hope that is not the case for you.

Hi everyone, http://www.instructables.com/answers/Dead-external-hard-drive/ I have problem with my hdd.. I'm now on second computer that running very well, and here is my external hard disk that is "not initialized" and "unallocated".. that says in Disk Management, MyComputer. So, when i press 'Yes' to go to initialize hdd i got message: Cyclic redundancy check error. I tryed to recover partitions with more than 4 cyclic redundancy softwares and results was good, my partitions is on exellent status! But, some softwares told me that my hdd must have MBR volume to recover partitions.. I have files, important files that i must get back like photos and docs.. Here are screenshots of problems..

Thanks for reply Lighthouse I tryed that MiniTool software, and i got pretty good results! First, quick scanned succesfully for lost partitions and than it shows me what it found (2 partitions) and thats great!! But, when i succesfully finished and apply at the end, nothing happens! : ( And, i saw that 2 partitions are on "Lost/Deleted" Status. Maybe i must fix Master Boot Record on my hdd.. ? I tryed in command prompt to fix that and it succesfully fixed! But, maybe is there other way to do that. I'm convinced that something like "volume" is needed to my hdd. I dont know what is it actually.. Reports: · Posted 3 years ago Top germ-x Posts: 5310 This post has been reported.

Instructable »ANSWERS : Technologysearch answers:Ask a QuestionDead external hard drive?I've been searching the internet for answers for the last couple of hours, but no solutions have helped me so far. The more I think about it, the more I'm sure that I have to either take it to an expert for data recovery, or if that isn't possible I'll have to accept the fact that the files are gone. So earlier today I was frapsing some PS4 content with the help of a Roxio video capture (PS4 signal blocked so I used Fraps to get around that). I've been saving the files on my C: drive, but since fraps files tend to get quite big, I changed the save destination to my external hard drive (Buffalo). Immediately after I ended the recording, my computer froze and I had to force shutdown. Upon restart, it started to repair damage to the disc (translated from Finnish), and once it was ready, it then proceeded to the system recovery menu. After at least 2 hours of trying all other options, I ended up choosing the option that resets my computer. Well that really wasn't the end of the world, since the most important files are on my Buffalo hard drive, but after the reset was complete, I couldn't access my external hard drive. I tried everything in Disk Management, at least what was suggested in similar issues, but nothing really changed anything. I can see my external hard drive in the Disk Management, but can't access it. When I try to initialize the disk, an error pops up that says: "Data error (cyclic redundancy check)", and it just shows that the disc is not initialized, and that it is unallocated. Is there any other option than either taking it to an expert for data recovery, or is that too late now?

And irrespective of any specific reason behind the error, it is quite serious and must need to be fixed if you want to regain access to your external hard drive and to avoid potential loss of any of your precious data.More an easy way you can check here https://talktopoint.com/fix-cyclic-redundancy-chec...which
