[SOLVED]Program to Reformat a ext harddrive windows cant see

January 28th, 2020

I was creating a partition on my External Harddrive, with Partition Magic, and Partition Magic froze. Now the drive will not show up in “my computer”. I’ve used ARAX Disc Doctor, and got all my data off of it. Now how can I wipe it clean. It shows up in Acronis Disc Director Suite. But that doesn’t give me the option to reformat. Is there a program to reformat it?
Answer #1
Right click computer > Manage > Disk management. Does it show up there?

And btw let this be a lesson for you. Please stay away from Partition Magic. It’s effing crap. Just be glad you didn’t have any important data on it.
