Unable to determine volume version and state

[Rebus]

Running Win2kProSP4 on a KT-266A system. As D: drive I have a WD 100GB
Special Edition drive formatted NTFS Basic. Following a CPU upgrade,
this drive has become inaccessible. Used and Free space both show 0
bytes and the volume label is blank. Disk Management shows the logical
drive (listed with the right size), Online, and Healthy (Active).
However, File System is blank (it should report NTFS). When I run
CHKDSK from the command prompt (CHKDSK D: /v), I get the following
message, "The type of the file system is NTFS. Unable to determine
volume version and state. CHKDSK aborted." It them returns me to the
C: prompt. The bootsector of this drive appears to be identical to
the backup copy of the sector at the end of the volume (no corruption
there). Plugging this drive into another Win2k system shows the same
result, BTW. Any leads to restoring the drive (with data intact)
would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Rebus.

Was the CPU the only component you upgraded? Or did you also replace the
motherboard - with a new chipset? If so, then you probably need to
reinstall Win2K drivers for that WD drive so that the
chipset/controller/drive combination can be integrated with each other. Be
sure to check with your mobo maker and WD Tech Support to see if they have
any recommendations, new drivers, etc.

Same chipset, but I tried uninstalling/reinstalling drivers anyway. No
change.
