was copying files to my slave drive for a couple of days and then all of a sudden i can't get into it. it says the drive needs to be formatted. i don't wan't to format it because i deleted the files on the c: drive after i made sure that they were in the slave drive. all music files but this drive used to be a drive i used as primary a long time ago. was working fine. don't know what happened.

please help me!!! i am disabled and only get $400 a month so freeware would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance to anyone who tried to help me. mary
