Something strange happened to my comp. I have 2 drives - 1 60GB (main)
and 1 20GB (secondary). Anyways, I tried converting drive 2 to NTFS
and formatting it, and it looked like it finished, but at the last
precentile it said it could not complete the procedure. Then drive D
disappeared from My Computer. After a reset, I discovered that BOTH my
drives had disappeared...the computer could not find them (IDE 0, I
think). After I turned my computer off, I noticed that my USB mouse
WAS STILL ON for some strange reason. This was very odd, so I reset
the power cord. Lo and behold! Both drives are back up, and D: even
has all the files which were supposedly deleted.
My questions are:
1) Why did my drives disappear?
2) What was the computer doing when it supposedly was formatting my
drive?
3) What's with the "ghost mouse"?
What the heck happened?!
