External drive connected via USB on Windows XP Pro. Worked fine until system
was powered down. When repowered, can't read with Windows Explorer. Drive
letter shows in My Computer but clicking on Properties either does not do
anything or shows "drive not formatted". Drive shows as "working properly"
in Device manager. diskmgmt.msc shows disk and drive letter but with no
format type nor content.
This is a brand new 1TB sata drive but the symptoms are the same as a
previouis EIDE drive, also externally attached that this one replaced because
I thought the drive was bad.
Active Recovery program shows files are still there.
