Simply if it is asking you to format the partition of the drive.
Then it is not formatted so windows can understand it and mount the partition for you to use it. It means the drive was never formatted in the first place, and if windows cannor access it no data is readable on it anyway. Catch 22 there.
Just use easus disk recovery.

DO NOT FORMAT THE DRIVE
This often happens when the drive is corrupted. Windows cannot read it correctly so suggests you format.
I second using EaseUS data recovery wizard. Have used it many times and it works well. You can also get a free trial - http://www.easeus.com/datarecovery/

Hi
Western Digital have a Windows hard disk diagnostic program available on their web site
(usefull as it will test other brands of hard disk)
I suggest you run it on Hard Disk as Windows recommending format drive is often sign of physical damage on hard disk in critical locations
The recovery programs TestDisk / Photorec may help if damage is limited
I would back up the other 3 partitions on the disk asap and before attempting recovery of damaged partition
finally do not give your email address out here or you will get lots of spam filling your inbox
