Hey guys,
Here's my problem. Today I was extracting a winrar file of 4.0 gig, everything went well. (Don't really know if this has got anything to do with it, but to be sure I told you anyway) Then suddenly I noticed that I couldn't use any program on my D disk (western digital 250 gb). I could see all of the files in every map and search my whole disk, but nothing worked, so I decided to see if a restart would help.
After I restarted when I wanted to open my disk I got this message: 'The disk in drive D is not formatted. Do you want to format now?'
If I look at it's properties it says used and free space is both 0 bytes, yet the funny thing is that windows does see the normal disk and at disk management it says the capacity and free space is 232 gb, when actually my free space should be around 100 gb. I have formatted the disk before several times using NTFS, but when I look at disk management now it doesn't say that it's file system is NTFS anymore, but the field is just empty. I don't really want to format, and I'm hoping there's no need for it. I mean, there should be a way to make my disk run normally again, right?
My other disk still works normally, but to bad that one is only 30 gb and only has my OS (winxp) on it.
Of course I ran the troubleshoot, but like always it isn't of much help. I searched quite some forums as well as this one, but could only find some people who have the same problem with an external harddisk. I don't know if that matters, but even at those topics I didn't see a solution.
So.. if there is someone out there that has the answer to my problem, some help would be very welcome
