What would cause a hard drive to suddenly loose everything on the drive? Prior to the hard drive loosing all content, the hard drive had about 5 gigs of photos on the hard drive. The hard drive was formatted to NTFS but now reads RAW with 0 bytes used, 0 bytes free space, and capacity 0. I get a message that says, Drive is not formatted, do you want to format the drive?
How can a drive revert back to RAW condition? There was another hard drive that contains the operating system thats AOK. I was downloading updates from Microsoft when the computer froze up and I had to do a reset. After the reset the computer showed that there was no operating system. I then disconnected the D hard drive from the ribbon cable and the computer booted AOK. Both C and D hard drives were on IDE cable 1 with the D drive as the slave.
What the hell happen?
