HDD Not initialized issue

Hello all,

I recently recovered two Dell PowerEdge R310 servers, with same specifications, at my work and in order to delete all sensitive data and be able to use them for personal projects, I undertook the complete update of the two servers and the complete reinstallation of Windows Server 2008 R2.

After multiple difficulties, I managed to update and run Windows on the first server. i thought it was going to be a cakewalk for the second one, but I was wrong.

When the partition creation step comes, the two disks present are noted offline and impossible to put them online. In addition, it is indicated for each of them a size of 0 MB.

So I stopped the installation, and as I have two free disk slots on the first server, I inserted them in before starting the first server again.

By opening the disk manager, the two disks are not initialized and do not have any volumes. The right column being empty.  When I want to initialize these two disks, I have the following messages that appear:

1. For first disk : Virtual disk manager : Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
2. For second disk : Virtual disk manager : The device is not ready.

I need help to solve those issues. I try to search solution but nothing corresponding to my problems.
