I took a hard drive out of my old computer and put it in
my new one. On bootup XP said that something was notable
to be used about the hard drive. So it made a change to
it. Then I logged in, etc. Now my hard drive shows up as
20mbs large. And I have no way to access my files. It was
a 60g hard drive, and 30g's were used up. I don't want to
loose all of these files. Is there any way to fix this?

I had this problem - but I was moving from a new computer to an old one that
didn't have a current of a bios. I solved it by buying an IDE controller card
that knew how to handle the bigger drive.
