Question about Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 (ST360014A-20PK) 60 GB Hard Drive
The disk in drive is not formatted. Do you want to format now? If I right click the disk and check properties it says file system: RAW with 0 bytes used and 0 bytes free space.
Format it using safe mode command prompt

click start click to open on my computer you should see your usb drive could be E: or something right click select properties there will be an array of options
select the sharing tab option then advanced sharing make sure you have a tick in the share this folder box
then click permissions make sure you have all 3 boxes ticked full control changes and read in windows 7
click start control panel administrative tools computer management disk management right click on your drive select properties click tools you should see click check now click start two boxes
automatically fix files and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors place then a tick in both boxes then select check now start
you might tick one box then return after its finished the first repair then return and tick the second box you should not do anything while the chkdsk utility is in progress any input may damage this drive
then you restore it to its default status
Right click on usb drive select properties you will have an array of options
Select the hardware option then select your drive properties policies
restore defaults
In XP
Right click on your drive select properties then on customize restore Default in W 7
you might have to alternate doing this repeatedly until the problem is resolved
click start control panel scroll to folder options view place a tick in show hidden files folders and drives
this may vary depending on your operating system
hope this helps
