Unrecognised LaCie external hard drive

[dave_hill99]

Hello,
I managed to accidentally format my LaCie external hard drive (during a Windows XP setup), now it is not even recognised by Windows at all - I just get 'USB device not recognised'.
Any ideas how to fix this would be really appreciated.

You can try data recovery wizard from easus.

It states it can recover files from formatted partitions with original file names and storage paths.
