I have a 200GB Maxtor HD with two partitions:
1. C:, 80GB partition that has windows and all my apps installed.
2. D:, 120GB partitions that has all of my family pictures, about 15GBs of MP3s, a couple GBs of videos, etc, etc.
Today I walked in to my room from work and my login prompt was up... which it never is because I leave the computer on all the time. I sign in and windows security thing said something like "Your computer was automatically updated and a restart was required." Ooook, no problem. But then I go into "My Computer" and my D: drive is inaccessible! When I double click on it, it says "This disk is not formatted, would you like to format it now?"
I went into Administratie tools, and then event viewer....under system there are tons and tons of red X's that say "Error" and when I double click on them they say "The device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block." and it all started yesterday around 3pm in the afternoon.
My windows partition is fine? Please tell me there is someway I can recover some of the stuff without shipping it off for $1000 or whatever.
