Sometimes it costs if one wants to recover data, you paid a minimal price compared to what could have been.
Glad to hear your back in business and thanks for the feedback.

Hi Brian,
I have looked at a few of your solutions.
The one that promised most result was from "cgsecurity". Not however that
the utility TESTDISK wasn't very user friendly.
At last I opted for a commercial solution from Nucleus Technologies: Nucleus
Kernel for NTFS. This application detected all my data and permitted my to
save it to another location. Once this was done, I repartionned and
reformated my HD, copied back my data to my I drive. I cost $50 but saved a
lot of time.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Beverly,
Have you tried running WD's Diagnostics on the drive? From the looks of it the drives partition table is damaged/corrupt.
Why is my drive shown with a Raw format in Disk Management under Windows 2000, XP, or 2003?
