I'm running a Dell w/ XP professional for a few years now.
2 internal HD C:\ 30GB D:\ 100GB
D: is one huge partition used for storing music, picture and video
files
Everything has been fine for quite a while.
I shut the box down for a week while I was on vaca. I came back,
fired up the box and downloaded some digicam pics to my D: drive,
everything was cool.
All of the sudden the box started geting real sluggish, the Explorer
window would hang, I can hear a disk seeking intermittantly. I
re-booted several times.
If I try and access D: I get popup:
" D:\ is not accessable Incorrect Function"
The Comp management tool shows D: as "online" and "healthy" although
it says the free space is 93.x GB, which is the entire disc, 50%
should be used.
The Disc defrag utility does not even shoe a D: disk.
All the searching I could find re: "Incorrect Function" is related to
external media "CD ROM, Zip, floppy..."
Anyone know what this is related to for hard drives, and what a remedy
would be ?
Obviously, preserving the data is the most important thing, I can
re-rip CD's but I'm not sure what pictures I'd lose from my last
backup.
Sussestions greatly appreciated
