I have problem with my external 500GB disk. I connected it to computer, i cant see it at My computer, but i see it at disk managment, or in devices and printers. Disk managment show disk format: RAW. I have saved all data from it. I tried to format it, but it shown a error:"disk cannot be formated" I tried to delete Volume, create new Volume, change driver letter... Nothings helped. I looked at lot of forums and topic, and nothing helped me. I used TestDisk, no error. Disk is not making any strange noise.

Can i save the Disk? Thanks for help.

Before you can format a raw hard drive you must create a partition on it first.

Go to Control Panel>System & Security>Admin Tools>Create and Format Hard Disk Partitions.

Select the raw drive/partition then right-click and choose Delete Volume.

Right-click it again and create a new partition, allocate a drive letter and choose the Quick Format option.

You can do it with easeus partition master.
