  1. Just follow these steps to solve it

    1) if this was a new disk, I’d be able to reformat it (Right clicking the Drive in My Computer and Format)
    2) but I got data, … luckily, on a Windows, you can convert your disk on the fly!
    a) Run the command prompt as Administrator (Start->Command Prompt->Right-click->Run as Administrator)
    b) At the command prompt, type
    C:\Users\J>convert f: /fs:ntfs /nosecurity
    where f: is the drive of your external hard disk.
