Help.. external hard disk not working

[poesjkin]

Hello people... hope someone is able to help this Dutch girl with
computer problems....

My external hard disk Trekstor is not recognised by my computer
anymore. When I want to open it, I get the message "The disk is not
formatted, do you want to format it now?'

I click 'no' and I can't see my data. It says there are 0 bytes used by
my Trekstor hard disk. I am very worried now. All of this happened
afther the energy was disconnected by accident.

What can I do to restore my data?
Thanks a lot in advance,

Sophie

I had a similar problem and the way I fixed it was to go to Device
Manager and remove it. I then re-booted it and the system recognized
it.

Try going to the device manager, and remove the drive. When the system
re-starts it should find it again. If this does not work, then it is
possible that the drive is defective.

seems to work.
