Hi, Im trying to help fix my bro's hard drive. Recently, he got some viruses and such and instead of deleting them through anti virus software, he tried to reinstall windows instead.
Apparently, half way through the installation it froze and did not complete the installation. Now, I cannot seem to get the drive to be recognized at all. When I plug it in, there's nothing to show its being detected.
So, I'm assuming it maybe a hard drive failure, but I don't know for sure. Before my bro encountered the viruses he did experience some sluggishness with the drive.
Its a Seagate 1TB 7200, any suggestions ?
