it'd need to be reformatted. are the files backed up? do you know what they
are since they are nls books, you could redownload them after reformatting.
you also might see if you can locate the other partition on the drive by going
to your computer with command-shift-c.
It would be good to see what is on the other partition.

When I bought this drive it was advertised as working with both Windows and
Mac. The truth of the matter is however the windows computer will not recognize
it at all. Do you know at this point what I can do with it or do you need more
information?
