I formatted the C drive on number one hard drive. I stored my back up on a
physically seperate hard drive in rthe same PC. I was able to restore all my
files from the seperate hard drive, so it was ok at this point. I shut the
PC down over night. When I startet up this am, the desktop was blank. On
restart the desktop came back, but when I tried to get information from the
seperate hard drive, a message came up asking if I want to format it. All
indication are that it is a RAW file. All I can think of is that the
partiton got damaged. Is there some way I can recover or repair the
partition?

Look into the utility TestDisk...

Might help - might not. You might be going to your last backups.
