Initialize hard drive?

i had a corrupted file on my hard drive F:and couldnt access the drive at all so i formatted it loosing the data on it.
then the drive disappeared altogether.
went into disk management and found it as disk 1,unknown, 149GB unallocated.
also states 'not initialised'.
when i try to initialise disk i get 'unexpected error' warning.
how will i get this hard drive back in buisness?

thanks

 

Have a look again and see if you are given an option of 'Import Foreign Disc' or words to that effect.

 

cheers Toke,but theres no such option.
the drive has dissappeared altogether now

 

thanks for those options Halo,but i just cant find that drive anywhere on the computer.
now to make matters worse my computer is making clicking noises when its starting up,which is taking ages.
i think its feeling under the weather
