XP Hard Drive problem

I have a WD 120gb hard drive, in two partitions, one for regular, and one for MP3's and movies. I just reset my computer and cannot access my second partition, the one with the media. I right clicked and went to properties, it says the size is 0 bytes, and the file system is RAW.
Is there anyway to get it working, and hopefully recover my data?

Thanks
Eddie
 
You probably have a damaged MBR on your hard drive. Or the second partition somehow became hidden so you cannot access it. Make sure your BIOS is still recognizing your drive at the correct size.

Up to Win ME you could use Norton System Works Emergency boot disk to repair the MBR and you get back all your data. Looks like that won't work anymore if you are using NTFS.
