Question Is there a way to fix my Hard drive

[EndangeredPanda]

I recently used a program that was recommended to me by a friend it is called Driver Booster 6. It recommended that I update some of my drivers and because of the praise my friend gave the program I didn't question it and clicked update all i then let it do its job and when it was complete I restarted my computer. I then went on good for a bit as i have both an ssd and hard drive I did not notice it right away but it had uninitialised my hard drive and converted it into a Raid 0 when I went into disk management it was not able to be initialised and i was saying that it was empty and that the capacity had roughly doubled from what it was supposed to be, from 750 GB to 1.4 TB. The hard drive is a seagate barracuda ST3750640AS.

I am presuming you were using some sort of software RAID on your computer which Driver Booster "up-set".

At this stage, don't try to dig too deep. Try the simple stuff first.

Have you tried System Restore?

 

[EndangeredPanda]

I was not running any kind of raid on my computer and very stupidly didn't create a recent restore point on my computer

 

[mundial]

ok what is your OS?

What happens when you bootup now?

 

[EndangeredPanda]

I am Running windows home and my boot drive is a 120gb ssd so the computer still runs

 

[mundial]

so you have:

1x SSD (boot)
1 x HDD (data)

right?

 

[EndangeredPanda]

i there no way to repair the restore the hard drive

 

[mundial]

if you had System Restore enabled - you could be backup and running in minutes.

I take it you've already tried uninstalling Driver Booster 6?

Can you show us a screen shot of your disk management screen?

Also your friend is an idiot, that program is trash.
