The most likely problem is that the disk is not low-level formatted. Low-level formatting is the process of outlining the positions of the tracks and sectors on the hard drive, allowing the disk manager software to understand where to read and write data. If this hasn't been done, the software would not be able to locate the tracks and sectors, leading to the error described.
