I have a Maxtor Firewire 250 GB drive and in middle of
copying from 1 drive to another, it crashed. Upon
rebooting the drive wasn't accessible. It said in the
computer management console that there was no file
system, nothing on the hard drive and asked if I should
reformat the drive. I have a lot of valubale info on the
drive. Any clues as to retrieving it?

There is nothing within Windows that can retrieve your files though, if you
were copying and opposed to moving the files, they should still be in the
original location. If you were moving, your best bet is to restore from
your backup.

Failing that, you need to start checking the back pages of computer
magazines as they have references to services that retrieve such
information.

For future reference you might want to keep the third line of my signature
in mind.
