Is it partitioned and formatted correctly?

| HI
the drive has been working fine, then I thought of formatting it the
windows could not finish formatting then I thought deleting the files
manually there were one file which was corrupted and could not be deleted so
I went to the internet and downloaded Active@ Kill Disk Hard Drive Eraser.
Low Level Format. from that moment the drive can't be seen in MY COMPUTER
but it shows in the device manager and seems it has no problem.

Well, a low level format just writes 0's to every sector of the drive. You
still have to format it so it can be used by Windows. Try formatting it in
disk management again. If it still won't format, you might have a bad
drive.
