[QUOTE="lifeafter2am, post: 722448, member: 20101"] Personally I would put it on a Linux machine, and see if it shows up under /dev/ . The device should be visible under /dev/sda1 or something similar. With the partition table messed up, it will probably not show a number, only /dev/sda or /dev/sdb etc. This would confirm that the disk is still viable. Then I would reformat the disk using fdisk and then a mkfs. [/QUOTE]
