windows can't format external hard drive
hello I have a problem with formatting my C drive on the external hard drive
well it is not external but it is the main hard drive of my pc and I had to put it on an enclosure and connect it to my laptop in order to backup and format the C on it which used to have a win7 ultimate 32bits
anyway the laptop disk management is reading the external D:/ normally but the external C:/ which is named G:/ on laptop is not readable
tried to format it from disk management many times using Nyfs or exFat and it took more than one hour to finish and tell me: windows couldnt complete format successfully
I read a lot of articles and tried deleting the Volume and making new one.... changing path and name of the volume
but all are giving same error cant format... also tried formatting in safe mode same issue pffft...
any help??? knowing that the other partition on the external hardrive is accessible and the G:/ is showing as RAW
