5. You mean restore to a point in time before the HD was installed, I presume?

That could work.

I'd try (with the drive plugged in) uninstalling the device in device manager first though, less hassle. Do that, unplug, then restart pc, and plug in drive. Maybe that menu had an option you didn't notice where you had to check it off or something that said 'always open this menu when plugging in drive'.

OP: Double or Right-Clicking on the device icon in the taskbar doesn't bring up the options to run the menu program? That's what it is is a program, so ... Have you checked your Installed Programs list to see if maybe it also installed on your PC itself and you can run it from there?

Oh, derp ... yeah ... formatting a drive completely wipes the contents ... mr_lebowski Mar 2018 #6

Sounds like you can't because you formatted the drive and erased the files... TreasonousBastard Mar 2018 #7
