[truterj2]

Help?
Is their any way I can recover my data on Slave HD?
When I want to open my Slave drive a message pops up that says my drive is not formatted.
I really do not want to format the drive untill I tried to recover some DATA.

Sorry, but I am still learning.
Their is no Operating system installed on the slave . Only saved DATA.
