i recently added a new master drive into my system. i had two other drives in there before replacing the old master with the new one. all seemed well when i installed windows and such, but once i got into windows, one of the drives has lost its filesystem. being said, all of the file i had on it are lost. everytime i try to load the drives contents in 'my computer' it tells me 'this drive needs to be formatted' blah blah. is there any possible way i can recover the data on this drive and not have to format it? and what would the cause of this be? this is pretty urgent.. the files on the drive were backups of documents i have used for 5 years and i can not recover them anywhere else. thanks in advance.
drives and jumpers are as follows:
[new] primary master [E and not C :\] = hitachi 160gb -- jumpers: master setting
[corrupt] primary slave = maxtor 40gb -- jumpers: slave setting
[ok] secondary master = maxtor 80gb -- jumpers: master setting<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by vizonet on 09/06/04 06:11 PM.</EM></FONT></P>
