Basically, my external hard drive was being bitchy and reporting corrupt data. So I try and run chkdsk /f on it. I leave it on for 24 hours and the drive is still unreachable, apparently due to chkdsk, but it didn't seem to be running when I checked the processes list.
Rather stupidly, I pulled the plug on the drive and I think I'm now screwed. It's now reporting that the drive is corrupt and unreadable and I can't seem to do anything about it. Chkdsk won't run.
What can I do? I really do not want to reformat the drive.
