Undo the CLEAN command on the portable hdd : DISKPART

When using DISKPART I accidentally used the CLEAN command on my portable WD 500gb HDD. Now it is not showing as a drive in my computer, though shows as unallocated space in Disk Management.
Thanks for your help

testdisk might be able to fix that.
- Download System Rescue CD (live cd) and burn it to a disk or just download testdisk
- run testdisk
- choose to create a log file
- choose the disk that you ran clean on
- choose intel
- choose analyze
- choose quick search
- confirm to preceed
- testdisk should find the deleted partition
- confirm to save the partition table.
- check for files.

This assumes they need to recover data, not just get the drive back up. For recovery, Testdisk rocks. But beware that if your drive was pretty full then it may take days to recover all the data on it. It is also likely to be in a random order, not in the nice, neat folders you may have had.

You'll need to recreate a partition and format it. Diskpart is capable of doing both:
select disk 1or whatever number refers to your hard drive, uselist diskto find out.
create partition primarywill create one large partition. Usehelp create partition primaryfor more options.select partition 1
format quickto create the file system. Once again, checkhelp formatfor more options.
And finally, if there's data on the disk that needs to be recovered, don't do this!
