Howdy,
A couple of days ago, I was using my external hard drive connected to my laptop using Vista. I went to explore the files on the hard drive and windows explorer became non-responsive. I gave it several minutes but it never became responsive again. I ended up turning off power to the computer and restarting windows.
I tried accessing the external hard drive again, but it was showing up as unformatted. I tried the external on another system (non-vista) and the same issue, the computer recognized it as an unformatted disk.
What can I do to get my data back? I had some important work documents and personal pictures stored on the hard drive.
Thank you in advance for any help ~ D
