the f:/ drive of my hard disk has gone loco...while tryin to access folders it says

"the disk in drive is not formatted. do u want to format it now"

only one folder gives me access to it n rest of it doesnt allow to open them...when i

checked the folder size it shows "folder empty" & when i checked the f:/ drive space it

shows 9GB in use which has been the same.


this happened when i took my hard disk to frns house but when i log in to my hard disk the

f: drive was corrupted

to recover my 9GB of f drive back as it contains some.doc,mp3,pdf,, n many more format

files...pls suggest some good solution..

god bless uuuuu plsssssss helpp...

The obvious issue is WHY did you take the disk to some other system?
(don't answer -- it doesn't lead to any solution!)

Once you're in trouble with the HD, your data is at risk --- all of it.

To correct any issues on the HD,
boot into Safe Mode; run->MSconfig
select the BOOT.INI tab
and the first boot option /SAFEBOOT
click ok and allow REBOOT NOW

when it comes back up, run->chkdsk /f
which may need another boot

this will correct the filesystem, BUT YOU MAY LOOSE SOME FILES

when that completes, run->SFC /scannow
to correct system files

next run->MSCONIF and select normal boot
