You are missing some vital OS files, and the surface is damaged. That's why it is giving you error messages when you try to use it as a primary. First, install it as a secondary and copy as much data off of it as you can. Then go to Seagate web site. They should offer diagnostic tools for download. But you are probably looking at replacing that drive soon. -Dave
