Hi guys, I seem to have a huge problem (in my eyes), I installed linux on my laptop and then couldnt get to grips with it so i uninstalled it and reinstalled windows xp pro.
I restarted the machine and now my Maxtor external hdd is recognised but doesnt show the drive.doesnt show the files i have on it. So i ran my live Linux cd to see if that shows them and it does, the files are all there and linux reports it a NTFS system.

Is there anyway i can get windows to recognise my drive again?
Many thanks for any input
 
Hi Guy just to say sorted it, if your having trouble with HDD's use Acronis Disc director suite, great tool
