While trying to install Windows XP without success, I notice that the file
system is completely gone. Drive doesn't boot and when I put the drive into
another computer as a slave, and explore the drive it looks like it was
totally erased, however, I know the files are there. If I do a properties
of the drive it shows 2/3 full of files. They just aren't recognized.
Isn't there just something missing that shows the file structure tree? What
can I do now??
Any help would be appreciated.
