I just instaIled the Iintel Application Accelerator..
Just afterwards I founf that my I: drive is suddenly dead and can't be read at all.

It's entirely possible this is a coincidence, and that the drive failed the same day, but is it possible that the new drivers in IAA are causing me to not be abe to read the drive?

If so, any solution?

It's 120g of data I could really use back..

 
I doubt that the Intel Application Accelerator caused your hard drive to die. It's just a "driver" for the ATA interface. I would try to uninstall the IAA driver (I think you could do a system restore if you can't find an option to do so manually). If that doesn't work, try to load up your set of hard drive utilities from the manufacturer and see if there is anything wrong.
 
Are you sure you are supposed to be using IAA with your chipset?

Then again, maybe IAA won't install with an incompatible chipset?
