Hi
disc manager can see the drive, it reports it as being a maxter 76 gig, with a 
healthy partition.  However, it won't allow me to do anything with it.  It just 
keeps saying that it needs formatting.

disk manager is in the snapin that will load.

  Thanks.

    Hi,

    Is this a USB drive or internal?  Probably a curruppt partition table.  
Have you tried viewing the disk info via Disk manager, or do you have partition 
tools such as partition magic etc?

    Thanks.
    Andrew.

    Hi all

    Does anyone know of an accessible file recovery programme, that will work 
with jaws?

    My storage drive seems to be corrupt.  The volume label has changed from 
what I named it, to "local drive d", and won't open.  If I click on it, it just 
says that it needs formatting.

    I've got gigger bites worth of programmes and music stored on the drive, 
and really don't want to loose them if possible.

    Any help would be very much appreciated.


    Terry
