Hey guys,
It has been a few years since I have been on the boards and so I had to create a new login because I forgot my info.
Anyways I used to have a 250 gig drive in my computer and recently gave it to my old wrestling coach because he was running on a 20 gig that was dying and a 40 gig. Needless to say he didn't have much space left. I also got myself a new 750 gig to replace mine. So I had taken it over to his house installed it and transfer all my data to the 750 before formating it. I just used drag and drop because it was mostly audio and video.
Once I put it back in my computer, everything is recognized driver wise, yet it didn't show up as a drive. When I go to disk management in Windows 7, it looks like it is unformatted. I did with NTFS so I am completely confused as to how this could have happened. I'm afraid to do much with it because I know somewhere my 220 gigs is sitting on the drive, but I don't know how to get to it. With most computer issues I'll just experiment until I fix it, but I feel like that is too risky.
I hope someone has some ideas for me. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Geoffrey Mackey
