[Help]I can't format my HDD External

Hello ... i've seen a lot with this type of question around here, but i don't quite found the answer that i've been looking before.

Okay here's the problem... i just bought My Book Essential 1 TB today... and when i got home i plug it and it works just fine but its bothering me that the HDD type is FAT32 .. so i format it and try to change it to NTFS.. but somethings happen and boom the electric in my apartment was down...
and so when the electric back i want to format it again but i can't... there drive is detected but with no space detail...
it says "Windows can't format Drive H: - Check to see that the disk and drive are connected properly, make sure that the disk is not read-only, and then try again. For more information, search Help for read-only files and how to change them"

anyone knows what should i do ?

when i open the Disk Management from (My COmputer > Manage)

it seems it's already a volume.. but the weird thing there is no space detail.. and i cant erase the volume ... i've tried using diskpart but i can't do nothing because there is no volume and i can't erase the disk...
no luck with fsutil cause its not ntfs...

I havent tried 3rd party software and i havent tried it on other computer (don't have other computer right now) and WDC didnt give live cd for formatting because all of them was in the drive... though i already redownload it but the program is useless..

please help me

Thanks before
