HELP!

Post by CaTaClYsM » Sat Oct 04, 2003 7:52 pm

My secondary hard drive cannot be recognized. My comp says that it is unformatted. Problem is I move all my important files there in case I need to format my C drive everything is safe. I NEED a way to recover it. All my important files are on it.

that is not cool ... hmmm ... prehaps you should try plugging it into somone elses machine and see if it's your computer or the HD ... or shell out the cash and get it professionaly recovered.

Both my HD's are NTFS. which looking back is probably a bad thing since everyone else in my family uses comps with Win 98/ME. which means FAT32.

Well. I'm pretty much dead in the water until this problem gets fixed.
