Hi All,
I have brought a used external HDD (Seagate GO Flex 1TB) from my friend for temporary use which I am supposed to return him back after few days.However when I tried to connect the device to my computer, it says that the file system is RAW & hence computer is unable to format it.Chkdsk does not work. Disk Management also fails to execute.My friend knew about it & informed me about the problem beforehand but I insisted,hoping to make use of it somehow.Now I am confused.I dont want to recover any data from it.My nned is to format the entire drive & back my entire desktop.The device has the power light on it & has a separate power adapter with it.The device is getting detected under My Computer but am unable to open it or make any changes.Also Format under Windows & DOS fails.
Need Help friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
