NQ1

Remembered one thing, My Seagate hard drive failed about 2 weeks after upgrading windows 10 to the 1903 version. That reminded me that in 2015, I lost 2 old hard drives shortly after upgrading to windows 10, all 3 made clicking noises before they died. Is it possible that windows upgrades did this? quick search online shows other people having similar problem.

Thanks for the reply.

Hello, My Seagate STAY2000102 (2TB) suddenly stopped working. On restart, I get a screen that says "ST_M13FQBL 04181241 S.M.A.R.T. Capable and Status BAD". Disk management shows the disk as 0 Disk 1 Unknown 3.86 GB Not Initialized. Please let me know if this hard drive could be rescued. If the exact same issue has been discussed already, please direct me to the page. Due to vision issue, I have to limit my reading, so I couldn't go through the pages on this topic. Thanks.
