Hi, I have a seagate 3TB Barracuda HDD... The USB connector broke off and fell inside the case, so I opened it up found the missing part and removed the drive, have connected it to my desktop pc but it is saying it wants to format the drive... NO WAY am I doing this as it has ALL my photography on it (approx 2TB, yes I'm a Female hence the excessive amount of pics "LoL")... I really would appreciate any ideas on what I can do to get to my files??
Thanx in adavance!!

Hi angelmishy. You probably lost the partition somehow and it became RAW. Try some partition recovery software, it should work just fine. Here's a link with instructions on how you could fix your problem: http://html5.litten.com/updated-how-to-fix-external-disk-drive-suddenly-became-raw/
If that doesn't work for you, I'd recommend a data recovery company.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
