External Hard Drive not being recognized by Asus

[Techques]

I am trying to transfer an external Seagate hard drive to an Asus laptop. It's not being recognized, and there is no option to change the drive or path. It's grayed out. I can see the usb Seagate under device manager under disk drives so it is not dead. I don't want to do convert to disk management, because I don't know enough about that. Thanks

I tried to convert it to NTFS using Minitool Partition, but it says the data is raw. It also won't open in the E: drive. It says you need to format the disk.

i am not able to open the image right now...but i can pretty much understand what it says...
at this stage, before converting the disk from raw to ntfs, i will suggest u to recover the data first...

this is one of the best softwares out there... http://www.m3datarecovery.com/
this is a step by step instruction... http://www.m3datarecovery.com/data-recovery/online-help...
the method you should be looking for is..."How to recover deleted or lost partition?"....
it is towards the middle of the instruction page...


wats the volume of the hdd???...is it more than 2tb???

M3 says it can't recover it. Easeus is working, but do I have to pay for that? It is working very slowly. How long does it take? Thanks

I don't have it in front of me, but it's Seagate from a Toshiba laptop.

Convert it to ntfs before using Easeus? I tried to convert it in M3 and it says it's raw now.
Can I do this to convert it to ntfs?

I was able to get some of my data to show up using m3, but it's in a folder called lost data. The files that I've clicked on won't open. Is there anything I can do to use the data? It says available offline.

 

[Hellfire13]

is it only showing lost data???...are u using full version of m3???
it shd be able to recover everything if the files are not corrupted beyond recovery...

I recovered my data using the full version of M3 Recovery. A tech worked on it for five hours last night and couldn't open my files. He said that they would have a specialist work on my data today, and he spent about two hours fixing things. Thanks
