Hi,
I have looked at several hundred threads online and tried many things to try and fix this to no avail so my last resort is asking you guys for advice on my specific issue.
Running windows 7 ultimate, I have an external hardrive which is not recognised in my computer, I can see it in device manager and disk management. In disk management its status on the far left is 'Unknown' followed by 'Not Initialized' when I right click and try and initialize using MBR or GPT options I get the error 'The system cannot find the file specified'
I don't know much about diskpart but having run it and trying several things which I fully don't understand I have typed 'list disk' and can see the disks connected to the computer. Now the disk in question is online but shows a size of '0B' which could not be correct as there is probably 200GB on the disk in question.
Can anyone help me in getting windows to see this disk as I have important info and old photos which I need to get off of it?
Many thanks in advance
