Hi there
When I booted up my pc recently a message appeared that said a drive needed to be tested for consistency, which I let it do. Since then that drive has appeared as unformatted, and therefore inaccessible. When I went to Disk Management a popup appeared asking if I wanted to recover the drive using MBR or GPT, I selected GPT. This may have been a mistake.
As of right now the drive is still unformatted. Previously I had it in two partitions but it's in one homogeneous chunk.
Can I do anything to recover my data on the drive?
