HARDWARE

Post Body

Long story short I downloaded a game on STEAM and somehow the game ended up corrupting my 4Tb seagate hard drive for some reason I literally have no idea how. Now everytime it’s plugged into my PC it get soooo slow even when I want to restart and reboot. I open up file explorer everything freezes and goes black and screen turns blue. I deduced that I need to erase everything on the drive and I should be able to use it again like before, but what’s the best and safest way to do that? I didn’t even use all 4Tb on this thing yet and it’s been working great before THAT game.
