Hi guys, I seem to have a huge problem (in my eyes), I installed linux on my laptop and then couldnt get to grips with it so i uninstalled it and reinstalled windows xp pro.
I restarted the machine and now my Maxtor external hdd is recognised but doesnt show the drive.doesnt show the files i have on it. So i ran my live Linux cd to see if that shows them and it does, the files are all there and linux reports it a NTFS system.

Is there anyway i can get windows to recognise my drive again?
Many thanks for any input
