Hey guys,
I recently bought a WD 160GB and installed it on my comp along with an NEC 3500AG. Now i set this whole thing up this way:
Primary IDE channel:
Master : WD 160 GB
Slave: Hitachi 60 GB
Secondary IDE channel:
Master: NEC 3500AG
Slave: Lite-on burner
I installed XP with SP2 on my WD and then restarted my computer. All the devices show up fine in the BIOS and even on the My computer icon when Im on XP. However, when i try to access my Hitachi which shows up as (Drive E: ) it says file or directory is corrupted or unreadable. When i right click on this drive the file system shows up as RAW?!?. I cannot seem to boot with this drive either because the cursor just stands there and blinks. Please help, the 60GB has some valuable information which I cannot afford to loose. This is my first post, and yeah im a total noob on anand tech.
What should i do to get all my data back, and to get my HDD working?
