as i can remember, the thing i’ve done before i got a big problem on my PC was, i purchase a new 40gig harddisk 7200rpm(seagate). When i installed it, it was detected but there is no drive (C:) present. So, i thought that it’s unloaded yet. What i did was i downloaded a discwizard from the internet using my old 20gig (5400rpm harddrive). Then, after i got a discwizard on a diskette, i remove the 20gig harddrive and use the new one (40gig) then boot up on my diswizard diskette. Finally, it had a drive c: after setting up the discwizard of the harddisk.
I set aside for a while, then unconsiously, my sister detached the new harddisk, and connect the older one which has a WindowsXP operating system. So the system boot to WindowsXP. When she knew it was ok that it booted up, out of her curiousity, she wanted to add on the other harddisk. So she installed the two harddisk. It was setup on both master. bcoz she doesn’t have an idea on master-slave.
Now, the problem started already that it says that it has no OS…blah..blah.blah.. and there are character on that sentence that is unreadable, it was like a german language.. i don’t know…
So, we’re very confused that what had happened on our older harddisk which contained the WindowsXP os, and most importantly our saved files and documents there.. without formatting it!!
My idea is that it was corrupted… but how is it corrupted?? and it only appeared a 16gig spacefree… but when i DIR it, it said FILE NOT FOUND… but it should be 20gig space free.. right??
Please help us, i don’t know what to do now.. All my files were put to nothing…
Is there any way which I can restore that?? of if not, can u tell me what really is the reason behind this problem….
Thank you!!
