I installed a new motherboard and needed to reinstall Win XP to update it
for the new hardware. (I installed a new copy of XP accidentally, then did
a repair on my old install as I should have done to start with.)
One of my hard drives had two partitions. After the repair install, the
primary partition is fine, but the secondary partition isn't. It had a lot
of files on it, but now Disk Management reports that it's empty and
unformatted. If I look at properties for the partition, the file system is
listed as "RAW" instead of NTFS as it was before.
Are my files lost, or is there a way to get them back?
