I have done a couple unsafe removals. Now that I think of it, this what I am going to say happened twice. I was turning off my system and I unplugged the external hard drive at the same time. When I got the Windows is shutting off screen i also got this error message saying something about hardware. I can't remember what it said exactly and I didn't pay much attention to it. Now that I think of it that could be the problem. But the drive isn't damaged and it happened twice before My Computer wouldn't see it anymore, so what did get damaged if anything?

EDIT:

My dad has the same OS as me. When I formated it I used NTFS.
