i have just had a hard drive fail in that it is not
being seen as a FATS32 filing system and not what is was, a NTFS filing
system!!!
i have using another hard drive in my pc to check for errors and viruses for
a friend and when i put my own hard drive back in my pc it saw it as FATS32
and i did not know what was going on until it showed the desktop and tried
to load outlook express that it kicked up a fuss that the folders were
missing, i had moved my outlook express folder to this drive that had been
somehow changed, just in case the boot drive failed i would still have my
emails, well now i have none!!
now i have a hard drive partition that was 39 gig and now is only seen as a
1.99gig partition with only 299mb free space the files (10000 of them are
called 'file0000.chk, file0001.chk.......file9999.chk) all of which are in a
folder called 'FOUND.000' this folder is in the root of the 'G' drive
partition
the rest of the hard drive which has 3 partitions are all ok, i hope.!!!
hope someone else can help me get back my emails and other files that
were/are still, on the drive.
thanks
