Just this morning I had a 200 gig usb external drive go down windows would not recognise it. (I tried to defrag it and someting got corrupted and it didn't finish.) When I plugged it in by usb it would beep and show up in device manager but I couldn't access it.
Anyhow I plugged it into the mac and was able to erase it and format it to dos and now it works on my pc again.
Donny if you don't know anybody with a mac send it to me and I'll see if I can save your drive. either way I will return it to you. Of course you will lose all info it will come back blank.
