Windows was unable to complete the formatSolved/Closed

Question

Hello,

One of my hard disk partition is unable to be formatted by Windows and when I try to open it, Windows ask me to format it. 

It is now empty of programs and has a free space 37.5 GB and any program of checking hard disk can recognise it and asks me to plug it in just like it doesn't exist. How to fix this problem?

System Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0
