Greetings,
Data Lifeguard Tools should be able to partition the hard drive. If you did that then the next step is to format it. You can do that in Disk Management. You can download it from the link below:
http://download.wdc.com/windlg/WinDlg_122.zip
Did you go deep enough in manage? Go storage> disk management. Then highlight the drive in question and go Action> All tasks> Format. If the drive is not yet partitioned then follow the same steps and choose partition first then format.

I doubt you must format it to NTFS for being detected by your PC. It's sure that you'll loose all your data, but you can recover them with a recovery tool such as recuva which is downloadable from the link below:

Hi,
Your files system were RAW and after the format, it will be NTFS, thus there is no guarantee that your files will be recovered with a recovery tool. But as it is said "nothing ventured nothing gained" and once again there is no guarantee.
Good Luck

The 1. Point in The Symtoms Listed Is Refering To Mine. I Hve Read All That & I Think It Will Require Same Hard Disk Space As My External Hard Disk To Get Back All Those Files & I Dont Have That Much Space. Bcoz It Needs To Store The Files Sumwhere Or The Other.But Will This Help Me? And Can You Provide Me A Software Which Can Restore Data After Formatting Bt 100%.

Hi,
You can download the software that will help you to recover your data but I can not assure you that all your data will be restored.

Hi,
Transfer data from TV to Computer, I don't think that it is possible! Try to format and restore your data that's the only solution I find. Sorry if I can't bring any further help.
