You must initialize a disk before logical disk manager can access it
Hi,
I have a 1 TB C:/ drive in my Lenovo desktop that is not being recognized by windows 7 prof after rebooting.
I put it in an external drive enclosure and connected to two other systems running windows 7 using USB and got an error "you must initialize a disk before logical disk manager can access it" when checked from "Disk management".
I can't initialize the disk as I have lot of personal files/pictures on this disk that I can not effort to lose. I also tried with Ubuntu and this disk has not been identified. Any help appreciated and I can't spend any money with data recovery labs. I can see the disk was spinning and a green light was blinking but hear a clicking sound within 1 to 3 seconds intervals.
best regards,
