    I've hitachi external hard disk connect to window 7 notebook. But there is nothing show under "MyComputer"; then i check on disk management, i found it show there as Not initialized and no drive character. When i try to initialized it, prompt message box say device not ready.

    I have many important data inside that hard disk, can anyone help on how can i get those data out? is there any possible way i can create a backup from disk management??

    Thanks

    Have you tried using a different USB cable? Same thing happened to me. I tried using a different cable and it worked for me.
