Hard drive help urgently wanted

[ChrisLandin]

Hi guys.

I have a 4tb hdd that up until 2 days ago was working fine. Then all of a sudden the pc cant read the drive. No errors popped up on screen in sentinel etc.

When you go into disk management it says the disk can not be initialized due to an i/o error.

Can this be fixed? Im hoping so as this drive had numerous family videos and pictures of my kids growing up.

Thanks in advance

Buy a new drive and restore your data from your backup

Is that the technical answer to its had it??

Drive has died unfortunately. Ive tried multiple data cables, different sata ports on the motherboard and all have drawn a blank. Going to have to buy a new drive and backup my data. Thankfully I have it all backed up. Was hoping that there may have been a simple fix I was missing.

Thanks for the help guys
