It's some WD Caviar, Samsung or Seagate 2tb, old one. I'll specify and check it if that's relevant. Now when im in the system, I still can't format it either. And while I'm in bios win7 installer after showing me an error the disk disappears. It reappears once I reboot the flash pen drive installer. Used to work as the main hdd til I had to switch to even worse hdd that became my storage since it wasn't able to keep the system stable for too long. I'm aware both of my disk probably got bad sectors as an IT guy said at store when they tried fixing my pc couple years ago.

Comet Bird. Joking, I'm just sentimental about that one...
The best thing is to get a new disk.
