I am very distressed (understatement - I'm really horrified and depressed) about an apparently freak and unusual occurrence that caused my external hard drive (and all its contents!) to not be recognized in Windows. I have a 20-month old 160 GB Western Digital external hard drive (WDC WD1600JBRTL) that I use on Windows PCs all the time (and http://forums.computershopper.com/showthread.php?t=298 which has priceless and irreplaceable pictures and other files on it.) (This drive is sold/purchased as an internal drive, and I had a university techie staff member place it into a WD external case.) I plugged it into a Mac OS X computer before, so I thought there would be no problems. The other day, I plugged the external HD into a Mac OS X (10.2) via an unpowered Targus USB hub. The Mac screen said nothing - no window popped up like happens after Windows machines recognize a new device. The red access light on the external drive was flashing very quickly as if the Mac was trying to mount/recognize/do something to the drive, but after 5 minutes or so, the red light stopped flashing and still no recognition. I made sure the red light was off before unplugging the external hard drive from the Mac and then plugged the drive into the regular PC I normally use the hard drive on. The drive was recognized, but when I clicked on the drive letter, a window popped up saying the drive is not formatted, would you like to format it now. I knew this was bad, as this had nev

Do you want to format now?" EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free Edition helps recover and get your hard drive data back from raw hard drive disk. "Disk/drive is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?", few computer users have never bumped into this error I bet, only sometimes it will be "* drive is not accessible. The device is not ready" message or the disk simply cannot be recognized by Windows. Of course you should firstly check the drive which unformatted hard drive is reported to be not formatted to make sure the physical connection is right. What if the drive is RAW instead of invalid physical connection? Data recovery software like EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free Edition will help you unformat drive in such kind of condition. What does "Disk/Drive is not formatted..." error mean indeed? "Disk/Drive is not formatted..." error may be caused by many reasons, say virus attacks or power failure etc. When you check it in disk management, it might be healthy, but it might have no file system and drive letter. When this happens, we call it a RAW drive. That means the disk is not prepared to be used within the operating system or the data can no longer be read due to data corruption, while every floppy disk or hard disk/drive needs to be formatted with a particular file system before being used, thus we get the "disk is not formatted" message when try to access a RAW disk. What to do when the system tells "Disk/Drive is not formatted..."? To access the RAW drive again, you need to format the disk, b
