I'll try to paint a picture ....
I was usng a 250GB HDD as a back USB drive. I purchased a NETGEAR NAS drive ( Network Attached Storage)
Thinking that i could just place the drive into the caddy and everything would be great.. well .. i was wrong.
The netgear s/w required me to attach the drive to the network. Thinking nothing of it i said yes .. at this point the Netgear s/w proceeded to format the drive. Realising that i had 250GB of memories etc etc that was going down the pan , i flew accross the room and pulled the power 2-3 seconds into the format.
Question is was i right or wrong to do this ?
If i now plug the drive into USB the message i have is 'the drive is not formatted , do you want to format now'? ... will the DRS recover the data from this point or will i have to 'quick format' the whole drive and proceed from there.? Many thaks in adv
