I tried accessing my secondary drive (D
a maxtor 200 gig with windows
explorer today and got a message/window asking me if I wanted to format the
drive, I've got about 160 gigs of files on the drive. I ran Nortons disk
doctor and it wouldn't recognize the D: drive so I ran it on the C: drive
thinking it might fix a file or two that would help windows xp recognize the
drive, needless to say that didn't fix it. In the hardware profile
everything seems to be in order, even followed all the help files on this
machine whether they be Sony or MS. I'm reasonably certain I could format
the drive and get the use of this drive back but with no files. What I
suspect (and I'm no expert) is that the root directory might be corrupted.
Is there any utility available that might solve my problem? My system is a
sony pcv-rs420, P4, 2.8 cpu with all the updated xp stuff, the drivers are
current as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
