omarmasri my computer is reading it as a RAW HDD and every time I try to enter it, it says that i should format the HDD and when i try to format it says windows was unable to format and I even tried it on every computer in the house. The thing is that i formatted it using swissknife to FAT32 and now I want it to go back to NTFS. the HDD is a Toshiba MK8025GAS 80GB
rolf Probably a hardware problem. Try on another machine/system, or/and using a Linux boot CD (like Ubuntu).
omarmasri This is my update:I deleted the partition of the HDD and then i used swissknife to format it and it worked but if I try to format using Windows it doesn't work and it becomes a RAW drive but it says in the device manager that it is a healthy drive
