Help,
I have done something very stupid and hope there is a way to correct it. My
system (call is system A) has 2 hard drives both on the NTFS format. My C
drive is the boot drive and the D drive is the slave. I removed the D drive
and tried to place it into my other computer(call it system B) that also had
2 drives with the same set up, C boot/D slave. What I did not know was that
the D drive in system B was FAT32. After placing the D drive (NTFS) into
system B and trying to transfer a file(which of course did not work) I
placed it back into system A. On reboot the system wants to run disk check
on D drive and now says it is FAT32.
Here is the problem. I have data (pictures) on there which I do not want to
loose if possible. I have not allowed the system to run the disk check as I
am afraid it will delete the files. Is this true or if I let the disk check
run will it fix things. The screen fills with files checking saying it is
truncating some and then seems to fall in to correcting others.
I have also seen that you can convert FAT32 to NTFS should I try that first?
