Hi!

but I don`t want to because I`ve got over 200 gb on it!

If someone know what to do can you please help me?

Thanks in advance!

Normally when I see this problem in repairing computer a person has disconnected his drive or usb incorrectly. This has caused this problem. Check your partition table and see if you can read it and if not repair it.

Try MHDD to help you to figure out what is your exact problem on this drive

Ok, thanks for replying.

When I disconnected it i plugged it into my nintendo wii, and when I plugged it back to PC the message came up (You need to format your hard disk..).

By the way, I can`t find this program MHDD that is compatible with my pc which is 64bit system and not 32bit.

Your FS on the HDD is damaged.
You need to repair it ( = will loose a lot of files, but the hdd will be usable again) or recover the files.
If your data is important, ask for help the local data recovery company, this case is in cheap range if you select the good company.
But i suggest to make a sector copy from the drive BEFORE send it in to diagnose....

I gave up!

I formatted it and all is gone
But now it works.

Is there chance of getting back all my data??

it depends on the format methode, but surely less than before.

Try RStudio Raw recovery and see if you can find any of your data or Winhex can do raw recovery too on this one. All you had to do was fix your file system MBR on this one.
