Download lg 2 5 external hdd hxd2 250gb drivers

I used a software partitionguru and it worked for me just fine.
So boot into an OS and install partitionguru. Connect your malfunctioning hard drives and scan it using partitionguru, recover your files to another drive. it's your best bet.

Thanks xttony.
I actually tried partition guru as well as a few other similar tools. I don't even care for the data loss now. I just need the drive up and running. Can't initilize, won't format successfully or do anythinhg. Win 7 recognizes the true HDD size, but cannot initialize or format it for use (cyclic redundancy check, or did not successfully complete formatting).
Thanks.

Since you don't care for the data anymore get a replacement if it is in warranty.
If the controllers crash of the hard drive you can't do anything about it.
