My Hard Drive is a 750GB Seagate Barracuda. At the point it is now, Hard drive is still recognized in BIOS and is able to be recognized in the Device Manager, where it shows as a drive with no partitions nor label, but says Unallocated.

noises, no abnormal temperature differences during operation. What's led here has been a step by step series of losses, first of the MBR, then File Table and now possibly, the firmware is corrupted. The HDD is recognized in Disk Management, but when I try to assign a label or initialize, it returns a Device I/O Error popup: Last thing done in the steps of troubleshooting so far was type Clear in DiskPart, hoping the drive would be able to be re-initialized and labeled again. That's when the I/O error popup started to appear. Added to that, though visible in DM, drive is not visible in DiskPart: I've tried to make a raw copy of the drive using an imaging tool, but it won't do that either: Meanwhile, the drive is still recognized in the BIOS at startup. All this leads me to think perhaps the firmware or some important functionality software may be corrupted now. How do I find out for certain and if true, how do I get the HDD initialized and working again after both the MBR and File Table was cleared? What I have: By now I've gathered a vast array of drive software tools to work with, including Seagate's SeaTools. I appreciate feedback from anyone who has used these tools before and can guide me or give me tips on their use. I also have a image copy of the drive when it was new and working properly and a c

I've struggled with a similar problem before:http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2277602/unable-detect-external-intialize-error.html1/ Try to 'Safely Remove' the external drive and then http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2296573/hdd-device-error.html reconnect it again, sometimes a simple reset can be the solution.2/ The error might be because of the drivers on your computer. So I'd advice to try the HDD on another PC/laptop. 2/ Another thing I'd do is check if you have the latest firmware update of your external drive. If it is outdated, it can reflect the performance of your drive. 3/ Can you access the drive through Device and/or Disk Management? If yes, what is the information the tools show about the drive?4/ Another thing you can try is to check the HDD through Windows' Command Prompt (run it as administrator), type chkdsk x: /r (where x: is the drive letter of your external drive), this will locate bad sectors and recover readable information.Keep me posted if any of the suggestions worked with you!
