I put an extra drive in my PC. I used it for storage of all kinds of stuff, and had all the programs on the main drive. It has been in there for at least a year.
I went to grab a pic off the net and save it, and it said, "Drive X is not formatted, do you wish to do it now"? I said hell no. I rebooted and went to that drive, same thing. It doesnt even show sizes, etc. Is everything gone? WTF???

There are 2 kinds of people in this world:
those who have lost data, and those who will. |

Keep the sonofabotch. O/T- I have a crazy Aunt. We all have a crazy Aunt, mine is certified, or should be. Two computers ago, I was back in Ohio, and I was telling about a computer issue, that I thought was firewall related. My crazy Aunt said in a deadpan voice, "Its not your firewall, I have your firewall at my house", to which I quickly responded, "Well I will stop by and pick it up." Needless to say my other Aunts found no humor in my witty retort. "CavVet, we dont encourage her". "Aunty, I dont fight her. Besides, if she has my firewall, I want it back damnit." Now, can this thing be recovered or am I sol??? |

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, just give up and reformat the drive !!!
I have had this same thing happen MANY times over the years and more often than not, it's only the FAT that's corrupted. Get a geek to look at it for you. This isn't something you want to dick around with yourself, unless you have uber-skillz  It's NOT particularly difficult to repair, but certainly not your 'do-it-yourselfer' territory. I'd hazard to bet that's all that's wrong. Good luck ! |

BTDT too many times. I run RAID5 for my not-so-important stuff and RAID1 for files I'm not willing to lose. |
