Ehh ? what does S2 mean? Sleep mode 2?

Is this a brand-new HDD, in which case it may need to be initialized, partitioned, and formatted? http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/265764-32-guide-installed-disk-system

Or does it have data that you can no longer see? Does it work on another computer? Does some other USB device work on this computer?

With answers to that, we can get more specific.
