I'm having a problem accessing a partition on my drive. Here goes:

My hard drive is partitioned into three NTFS partitions: C:, D:, and E: Drives. WindowsXP is located on the C: Drive. After a restart I can no longer access my E: partition. Computer management indicates that my E: partition is healthy, but under file system it does not recognize it as an NTFS partition. Any ideas what, if anything, I can do to recover the data that was on the E: partition? I haven't added any new software, changed or added components, changed drivers, or screwed with any system configurations in any way.

Thks in advance...

Have you, by chance, installed any file sharing software (ie, bearshare, kazaa, or similar?)

Did you check the (logical) drive for errors?

Any system event log errors when you try to access it?
