Hello

I put in a new boot drive and got al my dada copied over and everything works just fine. But my second hard drive which I never did anything to and that i have all my data backed up to, well when I plugged it back in it says it cant access the disk that the file system is unknown. I never did anything to this drive and it was not a boot disk, just a basic disk formated as NTFS. I had this problem one other time, but I cannot remember what I did to fix it

I know all the data is still there becuase I ran r-studio NTFS and it all comes up. Theres about 8GB of it. What can I do to tell windows 2K pro that this disk is formatted as NTFS so that it will see it again. I mean my other drive is till c: and this drive is still f: so I dont know how it happened. Thanks a lo

Hello Carito,

Sounds like the partition table might have gotten corrupted. Give us a call
and have us take a look at it. Rebuilding a partition table isn't something
I can walk you through in a newgroup post.
