Is my 1 tb Hard disk has been crashed?

Asked By Olivia Isabella 220 points N/A Posted on - 05/26/2011

I have 1 TB hard disk which I have bought  just recently with my new PC. These  are my PC configurations:

• Hard Disk 1 TB
• RAM 3 GB
• Motherboard:GIGABYTE P55-USB3
• Processor: Intel Core 2Quad Q8200  2.33GHz

I have partitioned  it into 2 Drives. First drive is 100 GB, and the 2nd is 830 GB. I didn't store any data in the first drive. In the second disk drive, I stored over 700 GB of files and documents. I also installed some necessary software. And there was no problem doing this. After I installed acronis and clicked a button"convert partition to primary",  the drive disappeared. At the moment, I can not see anything else. Is my hard disk still alright  or has it crashed?

Dear Olivia Isabella,

I don't think your hard disk is crashed. First of  all, you should check if the hard disk will show in the disk management. You can verify this under My computer> management > disk management.  If it shows then, you can format it there. If not,  you have to use your XP or windows 7 CD to delete the partition and reformat it. Boot the PC from the CD ROM directory and then in the progressing setup. There, you will find the window that will ask you to format or delete the partition. Delete the partition and continue your setup.

Hello Olivia Isabella,

• The solution seems really good. But I have another Idea that might help you. This might be a little bit tricky, but you can get back your hard disk like a new one.
• All you have to do is to buy a Fedora disk. This will totally format your hard disk and give you a new one which is usable with the windows.
