    I have a seagate SATA hard drive. I installed it in an external enclosure because it just stopped working and was messing up my PC. Whenever I turn on the drive windows will recognize it but tells me that it has 0 Mb available and 0 Mb of used space on RAW file system. I want to either repair it or format it. I have used Seatools, Norton but the test won't continue. Is there anyway I can force format it or some other way, even if I have to erase everything inside it?
    Please help,
    thanks

    start -> run -> diskmgmt.msc

    that will bring up all drives that are connected to your computer. if the seagate is in raw format, you will need to format it not matter what.
