Hi
I have a LaCie Minimus external hard drive which shows up in the Device anager but not in Computer and I can no longer access it. To own up, I think I may have disconnected the USB cable when the hard drive was attached to another computer we were having trouble with, and it was still running. (Other computer fine now, thanks for help from another forum). The original error message I had was E: is not accessible. Parameter incorrect. I have run Checkdisk on it and some files have been corrected but still no joy. Is there anything else I can do to recover the files or is reformatting the only option? Fortunately we're reasonably sure the files are all available elsewhere.
If I have to reformat, is it sufficient just to respond to reformat request or will I have to anything further to enable me to use it again. Thanks for any help and advice you can offer.
