    I just removed this hdd from a new laptop (bought SSD for laptop.)

    I hooked it to an adapter and formatted the 1st partition, which had the OS.

    The drive does not show in My computer and when I used Easeus to format that partition, it said "failed."

    I tried to merge the partitions, also failed.

    If I right click on either partition, there is no choice to make it active.

    Do I have to format the complete drive?

    I have backups of the music and video partition, but would like to avoid that choice if possible.
