NTFS being read as RAW, not accesible
I have a computer with Windows 7. I have Windows 7 on a 750 GB HD. Along with this I have a 3 TB HD that is working, formatted with 1 test file on.
I removed the 750 GB drive and in its place put in a 256 GB OCZ Petrol SSD
I disconnected the 3 tb drive
I installed Windows 7 on a 256 GB SSD HD.
When I connect the 3TB HD it shows up as RAW
When I go through the Computer Management the drive is seen, and I have a drive letter assigned.
Through My Computer it shows up but is not accesible.
When I try to format the 3TB to set it up as NTFS, it runs for a while then a blue screen comes up stating that Windows has detected a problem and will shut down.
When I reboot, Windows starts and I am back to square one. 3 TB is RAW.
If I swap back to the 750 GB the 3 TB works fine, file is NTSF
Swap back to the 256 SSD and the 3 TB is RAW. Again it will not format. Blue screen shows up again.
If I use the 256 GB SSD along with the 750 GB plugged in ,all the 750 GB files are accessible, while the 3TB still shows up as RAW, again if I try to format I get the blue screen.
One more thing, I have formatted the 3TB a few times while using the 750 GB and I get no blue screens, It formats fine, If I put it back with the 256 GB SSD it is RAW again.
How do I get the 3TB to be read as NTFS with the 256 BB SSD
