Hi,
 
Since its an internal disk you can use Spinrite on it - it runs in a
non-windows mode though.  Are you seeing the healthy status on both
disks - I assume from your description you have a master disk which is
drive c: and your extra disk which is d:?
 
Thanks.
Andrew.

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.

        Hi,
         
        Under XP, control panel, administrative tasks and computer
management - the disk manager is in the snapin that will load.
         
        Thanks.
        Andrew.

                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
