[gui-talk] Formatting hard drive on external enclosure

[ANTONIO GUIMARAES]

Hello all,

I have here a 180 gig hard drive connected to my PC via external hard drive 
enclosure.

I am using Windows XP, Home Edition, Jaws 7.0, and I am not sure the brand 
of the drive right now.

Here's the cituation:

I know there is power going to the drive, and I also know that the data 
cable is properly connected.
I hear the drive spinning, and Windows indicates a new device has been 
connected when I flip on the switch to the enclosure.

The first time I connected the drive, I could see it listed in Windows 
Explorer. At that point, I started the formatting process, with some 
guidance from a friend.

If memory serves me, I interrupted the formatting process, and now the drive 
does not show up when I bring up Win Explorer, or my computer.

I am afraid I burned this drive by interrupting formatting, and that it is 
now useless.

If any one has any feedback, I do thank you in advance.
Any help would be appreciated.
