I bought a new sata hard drive. But inorder to use it I have to replace one of my smaller sata drives. No problem. I disconnect the smaller sata, connect the new sata. Boot the pc up, and format, and load my files on it. Now I want to power off switch back the drives, so I can get all my files off the smaller sata. When I boot back up the drive doesnt show up in windows explorer, and in disk management, the drive shows up as a volume not assigned. I assign it the old drive name and letter, and then it says it needs to be reformated. But it was already formatted, and working. I dont want to loose my data. Its important data. I need to know what I have to do to retreive it. Thanks for any help, I really need it.
