you cant. once you format it all of the data is gone forever just like the warning said right before you formatted it.
The drive is formatted for the Mac. You need to take the information off the harddrive, then format it for PC and reload the data. Im dealing with the exact same issue right now but my question is how to get the PC to view the external harddrive through the network as a volume. I can see the Mac and its contents, but how do I get to the drive? suggestions?
I would recommend buying a USB hard drive enclosure that will fit your harddrive.
Yes, it must partitioned and formatted.
Yes, you can recover your formatted data from your hard disk by using the Recuva recovery software.
depends on several factors- 1) if there is any data on that harddrive you need, TAKE OUT THE HARDDRIVE. 2) if the harddrive is less than 120 GB, and the above is not true, GET RID OF IT. 3) if the harddrive is working, and number 2 is NOT true, KEEP IT. A working harddrive of decent size is always helpful to have around.
Formatted
A table can do this.
I hate to break it to you, but formatting a drive completely erases all data. There is a chance you can get your data back with a tool like http://www.ptdd.com/datarecovery/format-drive-recovery.htm
to aid in creating better-formatted content.

It depends on how the CD was formatted. If it was formatted such that it has been finalized you won't be able to add any new data to it. If it was formatted for additional writes - or if it is a re-writable disk, then you can add more data until it is full. Otherwise you will have to get a blank CD to put information on.
You get a 2nd memory card and transfer the data.
