Hard Disk Recovery with Windows XP

by design . Updated 22 years, 11 months ago

hello everyone

I have got a hard disk which was working with windows xp but I dont know what happend to it when I shutted down my pc last night it was hanged up and was not going to normal shutdown, therefore I had to switch it off manually. after this incident I am not able to access my backup hard disk. the windows explorer in xp shows me the drive letter “G:” but when I try to read it the error comes up “Unformated drive. do you need to format disk”
In properties of drive Samsung, size= 2056MB
Partition style = MBR
Un allocated space = 16MB
Reserve = 0
In DOS mode when I try to access the drive G: I get different message “the volume does not contain a recognised file system,PLSmake sure all rquired files system drivers are loaded
& that the volume is not corrupted”.
thanks
