| 357436 | 2005-05-24 09:31:00 | Ok, there's your problem. Windows 98 wont pick it up because it is non dos. Did you have this working under Win 98 before? |

| 357438 | 2005-05-24 19:02:00 | Try usig a data recovery program such as this (www.pcinspector.de) to recover what you can off the drive then repair the MBR. There are programs available that will repair corruoted partitions, but they are expensive. http://www.ptdd.com/ how.to Another interesting link is www.fdisk.com I'm at the point where I would recover what I could then re partition the drive and start again. Hopefully some of the guru's here will pick up this thread and get it fixed for you |

| 357439 | 2005-05-24 23:09:00 | Many thanks for your help,I will see how I go with those programs.There is quite a bit of data I wouldnt mind recovering however the important thing on it is about three gig of my granddaughters music otherwise I will never hear the end of it,Cheers,Max. | Max (8180) | ||
| 357440 | 2005-05-25 06:58:00 | I've found a freeware program that may be of some help. Testdisk (www.cgsecurity.org). More info can be found on testdisk here (www.thefreecountry.com) There are no guarantees it will work, also make sure you try to recover what you can first. |
