I can't seem to access my 320 GB SATA WD drive. However, it does show up in Explorer as an unformatted drive also in Disk management. If I try to access it it asks if I want to format the drive (I didn't obviously).
There were no partitions in this drive. Drive C is working perfectly fine. What do I do?!? I tried TESTDISK but I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. I was able to see all my files after a 'deeper search'. Please help. > > Mainboard : Intel D865GBF > Chipset : Intel i865G > Processor : Intel Pentium 4 @ 2400 MHz > Physical Memory : 1024 MB (1 x 1024 DDR-SDRAM ) > Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 > Hard Disk : ST380011A (80 GB) > Hard Disk : WDC (320 GB) > DVD-Rom Drive : JGR RGXAV0LYB SCSI CdRom Device > Monitor Type : Philips PHILIPS 107X4 - 17 inches > Network Card : Broadcom Corp BCM4309 802.11a/b/g > Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.01.2600 Service Pack 3 > DirectX : Version 9.0c |

Boot from any of the windows XP cd and go to repair option, there try FDISK command this command will guide you for rest of the process.

FDISK will just repartition it, so will 100% lose everything. Not great advice.
