Question : External hard drive won't mount, cannot reformat

My external hard drive won't mount, and I cannot reformat (greyed out).

Here's some info:
I volunteered my personal external hard drive for a backup at work.
After plugged into the server, the sys/admin said they could not get it to mount.
I removed the USB hard drive, but can no longer mount it on my PC (windows 7).
I could mount it to my PC prior to attaching it to the server.

I'm not sure what to do.

Images are attached.

Thanks!

Answer : External hard drive won't mount, cannot reformat

What version of Access are you using?

If you are using 2003 or earlier, you can Replicate your database and synchronize it when you get back to work.

Just make sure that you read up on Replication, it can cause some problems.

MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR DB FIRST!!!!!!

Newer versions of Access do not support Replication. Unless your database is in .mdb format.
