Quick question for you experts:
I bought a Lacie external hard disk for backing up.
Formatted it, partitioned it, cool.
I had other computer issues, and had to restore the system to
an older configuration. Computer works fine (aside from idling
at 50%), but the disk is not recognized. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling
drivers. It simply will not format. I have
tried to format it from every path I know of- control panel,
my computer, etc., but NOOOOOOO, the same error every time:
"Windows could not complete the format". No details, no help.
I have tried both "qick formatting", and the long way.
Any ideas welcome. I hate the fact the I spent the money on a
solid back-up, and I can't usde it.
Thanks!!!
Chris
