Disk is not formatted

[eBrian]

Hi,

I've seen similar problems but no solution posted. My computer has
two physical drives. Drive C is one HDD, and drives D and E are
another (partitioned).

XP finds drive d "inconsistent" whenever I boot up but it just hangs
there when it tries to scan it. When I trying skipping it, anytime I
try to access files on the D drive, it tells me the Disk is not
formatted. However, yesterday I booted up once in which the scandisk
actually did work, and I was able to access files on it fine.

What I find most puzzling is that if it's a hardware problem, then why
does my E drive still work fine? The data on the D drive is not that
important, so I could potentially reformat the entire partition,
however, if there's an easier solution please share!

There is obviously a problem with the 'D' partition..

What does disk management have to say about the partition? Right click on
"My Computer", go to manage - then disk management!
