well I could format it and reuse it but since it is cheap 134.00 I will just replace it with a newer model and install avast pro and maleware bytes than use that clean drive to scan the disk drives, than after everything is working again I will install it and scan it before moving what I need off of it, like the BI videos of coyotes, bears, panther, bob cats, dogs wearing a bra, foxes etc. before reformatting itWhy did you need to replace your drive?
