Read my post my drive had this error too good luck

I have a Seagate b I have the same drive as you but I was getting a different error, drive wouldn't show up on the PC I did the read short trick and the drive was recognized in my PC but there was a problem windows still didn't boot so I connected it to my laptop via USB and the drive ask to format it. Knowing if I did this my data would be lost forever so I didn't. I tried it a couple more times to make sure and was given the same propt. I knew my data wasn't gone, I hope it wasn't so I did a little bit of digging and found a program called DMDE. Its a disk recovery software when launched ask me to choose my drive. My first priority was to get my data before something goes wrong so I did. There were other options but recover data first then play with the drive. After hours waiting on the recovery and playing with the available options I found out that I could restore the partitions in one click, I didn't know I restored it until I restored my operating system. I hook it up via USB and instead of format my data showed up. I shut the PC down hook the drive up as normal and it loaded my os everything in tacked no slowdowns as stated in previous post. Bottom line is use the read short trick, it my take several tries but it will work. I don't remember the strange beeping noise, all I no was it showed error reading something something, and I held the pins until it stopped terminal was easy access able. Did the smart ect ect drive shows up to format. Yours my be different if it shows up in your PC us dmde or similar software to correct the partition. Good luck and thanks for all your support in this forum I never would've restored my drive without it
