I have a 1tb Hardisk which i bought abount a year ago. Recently the lights blinks and i hear a sound when attached to the computer. Its seen in the task bar but is not seen in "My Computer" as to open the files to view it.


Can anyone find a solution to that problem.I would be greatly thankful to you

Do you expect this hard drive to have data on it?

Chances of that may be pretty slim as it's lost its allocation table.

you could try using https://www.ccleaner.com/recuva

otherwise, you'll have to intialise it and format it to use it again.

Right click on the bit on the left where it says "disk 1" and "initialise" it.

You could try using DISK PART

With your drive plugged in, launch a command prompt. Do this by searching for cmd.exe in the Start menu (or Start screen in Windows 8). In Windows XP, click Start then Run, and type cmd.exe in the box.

NOTE: you may need to run Cmd.exe with administrator privileges if you see an "access is denied" message.

To do that, right-click on the shortcut and choose Run as administrator. In Windows 8, simply choose Command prompt (admin).

Now, type the following, pressing Enter after each command:

diskpart

list disk

select disk x (where x is the number of your USB flash drive - use the capacity to work out which one it is)

attributes disk clear readonly

clean

create partition primary

format fs=ntfs

exit



If at first you don't succeed; call it version 1.0
