I was trying to make a USB bootable for the installation of windows 7. I followed the guide in this website:
I did steps 1 to 4. My 4GB flash drive was plugged and so was my 400GB external hdd (Phillips). It was too late when I realized that I did step 4 on my external hdd.
STEP 4:
SELECT DISK 1
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=NTFS
(Format process may take few seconds) – this actually didnt take place (I dont know why)
ASSIGN
EXIT
Now, I cant open my external hdd ? it always says your drive needs to be formatted.
What should I do? I am not that computer savvy (my OS is Windows XP SP2). I really hope someone can help me in this mess. That disk contained files and folders that I have had for the last 5 years. Thank you very much.
