OH god. I dont need this.
I have a segate 120 gig HD that i havent plugged in the last month. I hook it up today and windows XP tells me: "Drive not formatted. Would you like to format it now?" My jaw dropped when that came up. I thought that maybe the IDE cable was busted or the jumper was set wrong. But everything was right. I didnt drop it or kick it. I left it in my case unplugged until today.
I got a copy of On Track Easy Recovery Pro which im using to run a diagnostic on the HD. The quick diagnostic didnt show anything so im running a full diagnostic now.
Has anyone ever had this type of problem happen to them? I am at a loss of words right now. I have 2 years worth my college life on that drive that i need back. oh god..i think just might cry.
