Ok, yesterday I bought an enclosure for a 1Tb Hitachi Hard Drive that I took from my old PC. I connected it to a Mac Book pro and it was only in read mode. I decided to format the Hard Drive on a PC, and when I when I connected it to the Mac again it wanted to do the time machine back up, I said yes and stopped half way, it then said the device was ejected improperly, which wasn't true as it was still connected perfectly. After that every time I tried connecting it the Mac would say, can't initialize and it would give me the option of going to Disk utility, ignoring or ejecting. I tried erasing it in Disk Utility and it didn't work. I tried using DiskWarrior and it got stuck on Step 1 for about 5 hours, I tried TechTool Pro, left it overnight and instead of the 5 hours that were left, it had 15 hours left, so I decided to see if there was a PC way to do it, as I needed to use my laptop and where I had it wasn't going to work. I tried TestDisk and it came out saying "no bootable partition". I don't need to recover any data, I just want to be able to use the HD as an External HD. It had no information of importance. Is there any solution to this?
