Hi, i have a seagate 200gb hdd which i formatted 2weeks
ago in 1 partition. All was fine until one day i turned
on the pc and under my computer my partition on the
seagate drive was shown as "Local Disk" and unformatted!
When i double clicked on it it said "Hard drive is not
formatted, format now?". It has happened to me before in
a different pc configuration. Is there any way to fix the
partition? i had about 120gb of data in it.... Ive tried
moving ide cables jumpers but with no luck... Please help
me, thank you

See Help and Support on troubleshooting on 'Disk status descriptions'.
Try using chkdsk /f to fix problems on a partition or use a third
party tool such as Norton DiskDoctor.
