Re: External HD "not formatted" all of a sudden

It doesn't look like I expect it to.
If the drive isn't mounted inside the case already - please do that.
A common mistake when hooking another drive up is to get the jumper settings wrong. You can avoid that by temporarily using the CD drives IDE channel > "borrow" the data cable from the CD drive.

1. Is/was the file system FAT32 - no NTFS or other file systems?
2. Is/was there only one partition on the drive?

If the answer to both of those questions are yes - go back to this screen:


Select Backup BS > press <Enter>.
