Today I decided to reformat my computer like new so I did so.
While the computer was off I unplugged my external 300gb hard drive.
I formatted to windows 7 on my 1tb hard drive with no problems.
After formatting to windows 7 and everything I replugged in the external hard drive.
When I turned on the computer and look in my computer folder I don't see the external hard drive.
My computer doesn't detect the hard drive.
I go to disk management to see if it's seen there.
I then find the hard drive but it's labeled as Recovery Partition.
I used to use this hard drive to store my backupfiles, but then formatted it and just put some random files in there to transfer to my new formatted hard drive.
I couldn't find it anywhere besides disk management.
I tried deleting it, or formatting it, but it just disappears. When I refresh for a disk rescan it pops up again but then as a unallocated disk. I then tried to format it again, then becomes a RAW file. (Note I did try quick and non quick format).
So whenever I try to reformat the disk It just disappears and I have to refresh it again and it's just seen as a raw file.
Any Ideas?
