USB Hard Drive will not initialize
I have a problem with an external 3tb drive that was working fine. This morning the computer locked up and after a re-boot the drive was could not be seen at all listed in "computer"
In "disk management" it shows "drive 2" but will not initialize, now it will not even give the option to try to initialize. A right click only says "offline, Properties, and help". Properties does say the device is working correctly.
"diskpart" "list" command only shows disk 0 and disk1. However if I use "select disk 2" it will say "disk 2 is now the selected disk". Anything after that I get an error message.
I have tried plugging into other computers, no luck. Tried several recovery programs, none of them can "see" the disk.
I am guessing the file system is corrupt. Is there a way to recover this without deleting all info on the disk????
Please help.
Thanks!!!
