This is most likely a very stupid question. I just bought a Duo Pro Drive 2.0TB Simple Tech external drive by Fabrik. Probably not even close to the very best drive. Anywho, I was looking at a guide on there website and it said to format it by taking out the FabrikBackupSolutions Folder and erase. So I did, I believe I lost everything and cannot even access the drive. Does anybody know where I can get the software to install this thing!?!?! Please help, for I am obviously not very tech-savy

It's just a hard drive, right? Just attach it to your machine and use Disk Utility (Applications folder -> Utilities folder) to format it. You don't need to use any company's formatting tools, which is usually just for Windows anyway.
