To whom it may concern,
I have a problem and have searched many fourms, thus none coming up with a solution to it. This seems like the best web fourms to post at, and also some others couldn't give me an answer...so please help.
- Problem
~ Major amount of storage on a hard drive is missing.
- Cause
~ Recently bought a WD (Western Digital) IDE Hard Drive (250GB) and installed it onto my computer as a mass stroage device for downloads i receive. The drive letter that i had for it was "L". A download i had gotton was infected with the most wicked virus i've ever came accross.
~ I opened the program and my anti-virus instantly spotted it, but was some how turned off before deleting it. Then within 2 minutes my CD roms drives where disabled, and no longer showing up in 'My Computer'. Followed by my Hard Drives Reading "F-Me". So I was going to reinstall my OS using a sys dsk, but of course...drives are disabled.
~ I have anther computer and i took out the primary HDD and installed the infected, putting the OS SYS DSK into the Cd-Rom, and set Bios to boot from the cd. I Ran the installtion for it , and installed a copy of win2k on it. (Completly Reformated with NFTS)
~ Now when i boot up with it though, it says its space is only 127.99Gbs, and its drive letter is now "C" MISSING 122+ GBS OF SPACE.....
~ Also, CDrom on infected computer no longer functions... ;(

~CDROM - LiteOn 20x DVD-R Burner
~HDDS - Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750GB(SATA)
