I do not know what happened, my external was working fine last night. Its a seagate freeagent go flex 1t. when I plug it in now it shows up as 1.38mb with a folder named amd64 another i386 and a file txtsetup.oem. I recenly got a new mobo and my guess is that the intel rapid storage or intel me fe recovery agent might have screwed with it. I pluged it in my roomates pc and i see the same thing. When i go to computer management under disk management it shows the hdd having 931.41gb. even when opening it through there i get that same small portion. I used it yesterday to transfer a file over, it mightve been before the mobo drives had fully installed. Anyone know what I can do about this? There are a lot of personal files that I really hope are still in there.

when i open Intel rapid storage it does not show the goflex

When I go into the properties for the hdd, under hardware it shows 3 things.
ATA samsung hd103sj scsi disk device (my main hdd is a samsung... idk if that has anything to do with it.)
atapi ihas124 b scsi cdrom devide (figuire its my dvd drive)
seagate freeagent goflex usb device

I tried unstalling all of them and when i replugged it all 3 came back.
