My Master Boot Record of my 40 GB Western Digital Hard
Drive has been lost or corrupted. When I right click for
my properties in Windows Explorer it displays the File
System as RAW and Used and Free bytes are shown as 0.
When I click this drive, it say's "This Drive is not
formatted, Do you wish to Format." I tried using Virtual
Lab (Online scanning Program), it displayed my Files and
Folders in this Drive. But I cannot access them. I wan't
to fix his problem. Please kindly help me in my difficult
situation.
 
Sounds like the file system identifier is missing. You could try a FIXMBR
from recovery console but I dont think that will work if you truly are
missing the identifier. The only way you can manually edit the file system
identifier on the MBR is to use something like diskprobe and change it in
the MBR, unfortunately that is too involved for newsgroup support.
