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. ________________________________ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of terry cooper Sent: 25 March 2005 21:31 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] failing hard drive 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
