HDD Problem

[GiZmo]

Ok at first I had a PII with two HDDs my second HDD had all my important documents and music and pictures. When I moved all my things into a PIII I had to reinstall Xp, when I was doing that I removed my second HDD just in case it accidentally erases it. When it was done installing I connected my second HDD searched for new hardware found itÂ….Opened My computer clicked on it and it worked. Then I restarted my computer and it says something like Its Corrupted and unaccessible I think when I clicked on it. Is their way I can access it because itÂ’s important I even tried restarting and repairing it but repairing it needed a password which I donÂ’t know. Any one got a clue whatÂ’s wrong.

"The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable" thats what it said

slave master? it's one or the other.

anyway, if a file is corrupt, your chances of recovering it are slim. the only way you can recover data involves a special lab, and a lot of money.
they then find out not just what the data is, but what the data once was.

run chkdisk. sometimes it fixes this error, not often but sometimes. next try something i suggest a lot, use a live-cd linux mini distro like DSL or Puppy. that will rule out anything caused by a windows error.
