I purchased the Medion external hard drive 500GB few months ago. It worked perfectly but yesterday, I try to connect in my USB 2.0 port and then my PC does not recognize it ... I restarted my PC and my Windows XP recognizes the external hard drive as "Local Disk (L:)".
When I double click on Local Disk L (usually my PC recognizes immediately and plan to himself to open the files, then I must go through the job), after 5 minutes of waiting, a Attention message appears: "The disk is not formatted The disk in drive L is not formatted. Want to format it now? Yes / No"
Here I click Yes, another message appears:
"Local Disk Format (L)
Capacity: 465Go
File system: NTFS
Size allocation unit: Size allocation by default/512 octets/1024 octets/2048 octets/4096 bytes.
Name volume:
Formatting options: Quick Format / Enable compression (have two boxes, they are unchecked)
Start / Close "
When I click on Start a new message appears:
"Local Disk Format (L)
WARNING: Formatting will remove all data from the disk. Select OK to format the disk or CANCEL to abort. OK / Cancel "
Then i click Cancel because my external hard drive has a lot of personal files and the work that I must keep QUITE why they were supposed to be protected in this external hard drive.
