Hi Andrew
Thanks for your assistants. I downloaded a programme called, file scavenger,
which was able to recover all my files off my storage drive.
I was then able to recover them to my c drive. I then just formatted my
storage drive, and copied everything back over.
Now all is well again.
Regards
Terry

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,
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
