I know that there is another similar question out there, but it did not provide enough information, so please do not mark this as a duplicate.
I just built a brand-new computer will all new parts. It works fine, but my hard drive does not seem to work. I tried another hard drive (from my alternate laptop) and it worked fine, but this hard drive is recognized by Ubuntu, but cannot be read or written to by Ubuntu.
I tried to follow the other question mentioned earlier (although most of the answers were 'replace your hard drive') and ran the SMART tool. I was able to run it without any errors, but then it says that the "Self-Test Failed". Does that refer to not being able to successfully run the check, or does it mean that the hard drive did not pass it?
Anyways, here are my specs:
- AMD A6-6400K processor
- 8GB of RAM
- 1 TB WD Blue desktop hard drive
- FM2A58M-VG3+ R2.0 ASRock motherboard
I have already done the following:
- Tried using multiple disk checks
- Moving the SATA cables around
Just to be clear, because I can't install anything on the disk, I cannot install any third-party programs. Thank you for your help!
