I got a 80gb External HDD about 6 months ago and it worked fine, but I put it in my PS2 to play games from, my ps2 broke and so I put the hdd back into its case and plugged it into my new laptop. The pc reconises it but I can't access it to format it or anything. it knows its connected but won't do anything else. Any help
No I can't access it at all, it shows up in my system settings and I can safly remove it but I can't access it to format it
try starting the computer to see what happens than as i've found that to work sometimes with usb drives. was that drive locked by the ps2?
