So I recently got rid of DirecTV and they just told us to recycle the box and give the card back. So I decided to open it and ripout the 500GB Seagate HDD that is in the DVR. I took it out and put in my PC and it wasn't recognized in My PC. I went to computer management and it won't initalize and just gives me an I/O device error. Which I have read mean't it has failed, but the hard drive was working not two days ago. I have researched an no one has actually found an answer from what I can see, and if they have, they either don't work or are to old. I'm using Windows 8.1 if that helps.
Here's some screenshots if that helps too.
