Hi there sickle_me,

You can't see the drive, or you see it under My computer and but you just can't access it.

thanks i tried but no luck. after uncompressing it i still cant access it for some strange reason? i can see it there in my computer but just says NTFS. when i right click it and look at properties i see no data. very Frustrating..
have i changed the format of my files on the harddrive and i can no longer view it?

You can try some data recovery software and see whether it will retrieve some data. Keep in mind to save the recovered data on another location in order not to overwrite the current one.

Are you set to be able to see all hidden files, including system files? Another suggestion is to use a Linux OS to see if that can let you see the files.
