External hard drive unrecognized

KMTPARIS · Jul 14, 2013

Suddenly unrecognized. My computer wants me to format my silicon power external hard drive. I,ll loose all my data if I do this. Can I get my external drive recognized some safe way. I appreciate any advice.

Try it in a different computer.

Also, you could boot off of a live version of knoppix and see if that detects the drive: http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html

Let me know if you can get to your data. I would also run manufacturer diagnostics on that external drive too... but save the data first.
