Hello!

PLease can anybody help me!!??
I have 2 hard rives one with C and D parts and one E with 250 GB. From one
moment to an other i lost the E drive. I remember that windows said something
like that it can't save or found E:\$mfts or something like that very shot
name begining with$ I am nearly sure and in the root of drive E.
The problem is that i can not even see it from the Bios setup!! Anybody can
help, or tell me what to try!? Thnks in advance!

Martin, if you are so inclined open the case ( first disconnect the power
and turn the Power Supply off if you have a switch
in back ) and check the white power connector or SATA connector to the
drive. From what I understand SATA connectors have a way of coming loose.
 
Hi!

Thks for the answer. I opened the case and chek everything, it seems; ok
(it is a pata disk). However it was extremly hot! I let the case open and let
it cool down and now it seems to work! Is it possible that it was the heat?
I'll try to let more free space between disks, they are very closed!
 
Martin, heat could be a problem. Check all your case fans and air dust
if necessary. Hard Drive coolers are a good idea
also.
