I just got a new case to replace my old one. The first time i booted up
windows in the new case i accidently left the c drives power unplugged.
So when it booted it was telling me that my processor was unknown and
that i needed to enter the specs into the bios.

After plugging the c drive back in windows will boot normally but
windows now says my secondary hdd isnt formatted.

How can I recover the data from the secondary hdd?

Btw this is win 2000.
 
Its jumpered correctly?
PS are you booting from your non C drive? otherwise how did the sys boot
when C was disconnected

i set the jump to slave on the secondary drive. c is set to master.When
i right click on my computer and explore windows shows the hdd. However
when i click on the hdd it says hdd not formated would you like to
format now.

I just opened norton partition magic, when i go to properties on the d
drive its telling me (error#1602 file table backup mismatch.)

Any ideas?

crosslinked or not allocated)
 
You might try running chkdsk on this drive
But you still havent explained how you managed to boot up when C was
disconnected

When the c was unplugged it never booted all the way to windows. When i
plugged c back in it booted windows but now says my d drive is not
formatted.

Hope this makes sense.
 
OK, run chkdsk on the drive

You can run it from the Command Prompt ( Start>Programs>Accessories)

You might want to try a repost. With you guys alternately top and bottom
posting and repeatedly quoting *everything* that went before, I for one
have lost track.
