    i have a western digital 500GB harddrive that i use in an antec external enclosure and just recently it wouldnt load, so i unistalled the drivers and had it reinstall

    that made it so i now see the drive its drive G: but when i used ptdd partition table doctor (i thought the partition table was off) it says its drive F:/ and when i double click the G: in my Computer its gives the G:/ is inaccessible The parameters are incorrect error (it also doesnt show the size to the right of that drive)

    i dont know what i should do, any suggestions?

    oh and i posted this under software because i have no clue what this would fall under a hardware or software problem

    what filesystem is it, also have you used it on other computers?

    I don't know if I got this wrong or not, but I've read that some filesystems don't play nice on different OS's.

    Also, are there any unusual noises on it?

    Third, I've heard this had some luck, so can't hurt to try it.
