Hello Chaps
�
I have a non responsive Seagate USB Hard Drive that I am trying to rescue. Under windows, the error message appears that the drive does not have a valid Partition Table.
I have tried to get it to be recognized under Linux:

Any tips as to how I can mount the drive so I can reformat it with a NTFS file system?

Cheers
