Cant format my external HD
Closed
I Have an external HD that I use on my laptop, one of those laptop HD in a USB case things.
I few months ago it just stopped reading. I tried everything and got no response.
I have finally now managed to retreive all the data off it using a data recovery program, but in doing this I have noticed that this drive is still fully functional and all the data is still there.
It shows up in MY Computer as a Local Drive (G:) but when you try click on the icon to format it nothing happens.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Its super slow.... it shows that there is a HD connected but I cannot access it or do anything to it.
No menu opens when I right click on the icon in My Computer.
Its is just totally unresponsive.
Im trying to format it hoping that it will work thereafter.
I have a feeling that the boot sector is missing files or damaged.
