You might have to use a third party utility like test disk to do this. Also a utility provider by drive's manufacturer would do.

I bought a 128GB SSD drive, only to learn that a Mac could not write to it. It was bad enough that I couldn't find an SSD drive with FireWire ports, but to find a drive that could only be written to buy a Windows computer? This was absolutely unacceptable. Does anyone know of an SSD drive with FireWire ports that can be used by a Mac? Sent from my iPhone PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
