I got a 80gb External HDD about 6 months ago and it worked fine, but I put it in my PS2 to play games from, my ps2 broke and so I put the hdd back into its case and plugged it into my new laptop. The pc reconises it but I can't access it to format it or anything. it knows its connected but won't do anything else.

Any help
