    I dunno if this is the right place to post, but if it isn't, please move it to the right place.

    Anyways, I have this USB external hard drive for about a year, and there has been no problems with it. Last night when I was running a program from the drive the program had an error so I terminated it. The result? My USB drive won't work. It shows up in the safely remove hardware thing in the taskbar, but it says it's mapped to location 0. Nothing shows up in explorer and when I see it's properties, it says the device is working fine. I switched to another computer and it says the same thing. I have lots of important stuff in the drive and don't want to lose them. How can I get it working again? Please help.
     
    In the worst case you could of deleted/corrupted the MBR or
    it could of just died from overuse.

    Well, anyways could you explain what happened in more
    detail? What program did you run? And, do you know if you
    have computer viruses or worms?
     
    I ran photoshop CS2 installation. A pop up window told me the autorun thing had some kind of error. My computer has no viruses because I just re-installed my system. I even got a new case, still doesn't work.
     
    I checked there. In the management graph place (the chart below) it says disk 1, and it says unallocated. Does this mean I lost all my data and can't get them back? I don't want to lose them.
     
    Sounds kinda bad..
    If you can set up a drive letter for it, you can use some
    data recovery programs to restore important files.
    Just don't reformat it..
