Wow! Just Wow! I think I screwed up! HELP PLEASE :(

Hi all, got a major problem here. Yesterday, I decided I needed a format, and I have 2 harddrives, each partioned into two drives. So I backup all my data in my slave drive's second partition, thinking that I will be able to use it after I format.

Today, I am stuck without my data. I can't get to the harddrive because I am stupid? Well, I click on the harddrive in My Computer and it says "Drive G is not formatted. Do you want to format it now?". Of course I choose "No" since I need that data desperately. So how can I reach the data in that drive? Is it possible? I really need help. It had all my school work 🙁 Please Please 🙁

Thanks.

Go into Computer Management > Disk Management and see what it's seeing. If possible, could you post a screenshot?

Follow mechBgon's advice, tell us what you see. For "next time," be sure to disconnect the second disk from power and IDE cables before doing the partitioning and formatting on the first (you may need to change the jumper on the first drive from master to single if it's a WD, so check the label on top to be sure), so you don't risk screwing up the second drive (which is hopefully what did not happen, but possibly could have).

Alright sorry guys, I am stupid. I think Windows changed the drive letter for my partition, so I was clicking on the unformatted drive. So I got my back up data 🙂 And mechBgon, i found out about it while at disk management, so thank you 🙂
