Power outage; Can’t access external HDD (Maxtor OneTouch 4)

by troyc . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

I’m having a brain fart here. I lost power earlier today while I was on them computer. Later I went to access my Maxtor OneTouch 4 external HDD and I got an error that said it couldn’t access it or the disc is corrupted. Using Windows’ disk management I could see the HDD there and it correctly reported the size. In fact, Windows shows it when I click on My Computer. I ran HD Tune which said it was running ok and the disc had no errors. Someone told me I need to partition it and I’ll lose all my data. I can’t do that. Is there another option?
