If you could not find the partition,
how are you going to format it?
Does you means sometimes you find it sometimes not?

I suggest you to change your IDE/SATA cable and check whether the partition is detectable or not.
If still undetectable. That means your HDD is at the end of its life.

Thanks

Use disk scan to check for your hdd error. Run CHKDSK to check and fix your HDD error.
But with the symptom of 2nd and 3rd information that you had provided, i can tell you that your HDD have a huge bad sector and its almost dying.

help...my ext HDD cant be detected and i heard some sounds tik tik tik like fan or something everytime i connect it...is there any software that can detect an undetected HDD?

Your HDD is almost dead.
My idea would be:
Take your HDD out from the casing, use a Notebook HDD SATA converter to run it in a PC see if there is possibility the hdd still can be accessed.
