Hard Drive problems... please help if you can!!!
Ok
First of all, my o/s is XP Professional
Now, I have two hard drives in my PC (C & F) - F is a second internal drive I fitted aftre I bought the PC.
I just got an external hard drive that connects via USB 2.0 - which became drive G. I installed the software, connected it, moved some files from F over to G, no problem.
THEN... I restart my PC, and suddenly I cant see the F drive... the PC recognises that there is an F drive, and still calls the external drive G, but t just says F isnt accessable, or "F is not formatted, do you want to format?"
I used the "safetly remove hardware" link in the system tray to remove G, rebooted, but it still cant see F.
Also, every time I start up, I get a message box that comes up from w32, but no message appears... I have a load of spyware on my PC also, and somehow something has disabled my auto update definitions option on Norton (I cant even get onto Nortons website, my browser just wont connect to it, and when I run the live update, Norton thinks Im offline)
The first problem is pissing me off more, what can I do????
I am sure the data is still on drive F, but my PC just wont see it, is it something to do with the external hard drive taking away some detail designated to Drive F???
Please help, all my music files and stuff over three years are all saved on F!!!!
*cries*
