How can you advise "It may need to be activated and formated" based on
such incomplete information as to the situation on the other users
computer? Formatting is a destructive process ,which could make
matters worse.

If a drive is not activated, it would mean that it has no information on it
period. At least every single time I have installed a new drive, that has
data on it has never needed to be activated. Only when I have installed a
drive that has no tables wether is be FAT or NTFS has it ever needed to be
activated.

Thus... I suggest it.
