You need to FDISK before you format a drive, then you will be able to change to C:

That's a pretty good answer. I thought about Fdisk.

Don't do this if the drive has data on it that you wish to keep. If you run FDISK & then format, everything will be lost!
There are a number of causes (and fixes) for the problem you have.
I suggest that if you have been using the drive and it just quit, perhaps the BIOS parameters are set incorrectly. (possible bad CMOS battery)
Let me know if you want to try to save it.
