I'm panicing now! I've lost part of a hard disk overnight.
Woke up this morning to a blank screen (pc is always left on at the weekend - running XP Pro). Rebooted the system and everything seemed normal until I tried to access a program, when the system said that the shortcut was invalid, or words to that effect.
I have 2 physical hard disks, the second of which is partitioned into
d and e drives. Drive c is 20gb and is ok. Drive d is 50 gb and is apparently empty, but e, which is on the same physical drive as d, is ok.
If I try to look at d from explorer (the disk label has changed from
'drive 2' to 'local disk') I get the message 'The disk in drive d: is
not formatted. Do you want to format it now? Yes/No'.
I deliberately kept all of my backups on d: as it doesn't get used as much as c: and being on a physically separate drive I thought this made sense. I'm now panicing as it also has work stuff on it too!
Has anyone any ideas how I can get it back???
Thanks
Brian (who's desperate!)
