Inaccessible Hard Drive
Yesterday a friend gave me two hard drives (2x OEM Seagate 250Gb 7200rpm) taken from 2 cable TV recording boxes.
When i connected them to my pc (one in SATA, other in a external USB case) they appear in BIOS but not in windows. In Disk Management they are shown has unknown, not initialized (i'll try to translate the names since my windows isn't in english), the partitions not attributed and without free space!
When i click in initialize a error appears:
"Is not possible to complete the request due to an e/s* error"
*maybe in english that word is different...
After appears this error:
"Data error (error cyclic redundancy)"
I already tried to format them in Ubuntu and failed.
Are the disks locked to the boxes board? Or is there a way to recover the disks to be used normally?
