I just got a new case to replace my old one. The first time i
booted
up
windows in the new case i accidently left the c drives power
unplugged.
So when it booted it was telling me that my processor was
unknown
and
that i needed to enter the specs into the bios.

After plugging the c drive back in windows will boot normally
but
windows now says my secondary hdd isnt formatted.

How can I recover the data from the secondary hdd?

Btw this is win 2000.

i set the jump to slave on the secondary drive. c is set to
master.When
i right click on my computer and explore windows shows the hdd.
However
when i click on the hdd it says hdd not formated would you like to
format now.

I just opened norton partition magic, when i go to properties on
the d
drive its telling me (error#1602 file table backup mismatch.)

Any ideas?

When the c was unplugged it never booted all the way to windows. When
i
plugged c back in it booted windows but now says my d drive is not
formatted.

Hope this makes sense.



Where is check drive? sorry for the noobness.


Ok i ran it what exactly should i be looking for?

can anyone help me save this drive?
