I have a 250gig harddrive that I use only for storage. I recently set up a dual boot of Win XP SP2 and Vista Ultimate on my Master Drive. Until last night, while in Vista I was able to see the contents of this drive under Drive Letter G:. Last night my computer froze under VISTA and when it reboot, the computer ran chkdsk before starting VISTA. Now, I can still see drive G:, but the contents are not available.
Ironically, i then booted into Win XP and tried to see if i can access the files. I have no problem accessing them in Win XP. Is there some sort of index that Vista uses that can be corrupted and how can I fix it? It doesn't make sense to me that Vista just stopped reading the drive (but still knows its physically there, b/c it shows up as G: still in MY COMPUTER), while Win XP has no problems reading the contents.
Thanks in advance!!
