[QUOTE="Mickha, post: 820600, member: 187442"] Do you need to save anything, or try to recover anything, off the hard drive? If there is nothing important on it then I would use a utility boot up disk, like Hirens, and re-format the hard drive, it should be quite simple to get it showing up as a 500GB drive again. You could also connect it to your PC, on one of the spare SATA ports, boot up into your PC's operating system then use software to access the disk and try to repair it, recover information, or just format the disk.
