Laptop's internal WD SATA HDD of 1 TB is not being detected from any OS. It does not have any physical damage.
However while booting to linux from another disk, log is printed
[ 6.397803] ata5: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)
[ 11.101680] ata5: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
[ 16.449538] ata5: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)
[ 21.153415] ata5: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
[ 26.501275] ata5: link is slow to respond, please be patient (ready=0)

[ 56.180568] ata5: limiting SATA link speed to 1.5 Gbps
[ 61.192365] ata5: COMRESET failed (errno=-16)
[ 61.192435] ata5: reset failed, giving up
What does it mean ?
Does it mean HDD is taking too long to respond hence OS gives up ? If so, is it possible to configure OS to attempt several more times ?
Does it mean hard disk is damaged and no way to use it anymore? Please explain the relation to COMRESET failed error ?
