    make sure you have a back up before trying anything.

    try hooking it up, saying no to the reformat, then running Norton Disk Doctor. it might recognize that there is a drive there even if it was windows formatted, then after it runs, you might be able to read it.

    I really don't know though. I had a mac formatted one crap out on me, and it was asking to reformat it, so I ran Norton on it, and it recognized the drive, fixed it, and now its fine. So maybe it will work with yours. like I said, back it up first though.
