Hey there.
I had some problems in the last couple of days with my Windows, and had to format and reinstall Windows XP. After I installed it and configured everything, I noticed my other HDD (I have one 80gb for OS, and a 250gb one for everything else - games, music, well everything) is inaccessible, and that it requires a format so I could begin working with it.
I have almost 200gb of data on it, so I would really rather not to format the drive.
So I have a few questions:
1. Why is this happening? Why did a HDD that worked perfectly a hour ago, would now need formatting? I've reinstalled windows a thousand times before and never encountered that before.
2. How can I either override the need to format, or save atleast some of the data on the drive if I absoloutley have to...
Thanks alot.
