Https://www.easeus.com has recovery programs.
First off, I assume that you have a USB Hard drive that use between computers. One big mistake people make when moving a USB device from the computer is they fail to use the EJECT method. For example, when you go to File Explorer and select a drive from the "This PC" whereby all attached devices are listed and you are able to make a section from the icons showing on the screen. Assume you bring up a USB Drive, use the drive for some reason, and then when finished, you simply PULL the USB drive out by hand. NO! Use the eject format to disconnect the USB drive so you do not create STATIC Charge. Down at the lower right side of the computer screen is a ^. Hit that and Icons come up. An Icon that looks like a USB device (may be upper left) is the safety removal tool. The hard disc you have may have been statically charged and thus the FORMAT may have been damaged. Without a format, the drive is not capable of being read. Repair programs have the ability to read sectors and lift data that was lost to a Format problem.

SOURCE: not able to copy /delete

take a look at the properties..by right click on its icon on my computer ..and see if it is not set to read only ...or right protected...cause this may cause the data not to be able to be changed or formatted ..If on properties the read only is ticked ..just clear the case ..and let it empty ...after that try to format it again in Fat32

SOURCE: how to recover data from corrupted hard drive?

Hi, liub97.

In your case, it is recommended to use this data recovery tool to recover as much data as possible. If you are Mac OS X user, go to this Mac hard drive recovery software.

Then follow the procedure to reformat your corrupted hard drive. Mycomputer -> Computer Management -> Storage-> Disk Management . Note: you can also opt for a third-party formatting tool.

Things are not over, after formatting, retry the program to see if more data can be recovered as you know a simple format option won't erase data permanently.

Best regards.

Samsung G2 Portable External Hard Drive cannot be formatted. "Unable to complete the format"

Try deleting any partitions on the drive by using Control panel, administrative tools, computer management, disk management. now highlight the drive and right click and click on delete partition. Now create a new partition and see if it will do a full format on it. if not then its stuffed. you have no choice but to buy another drive.
