First let me say, I thought I had it backed up.
Next, let me say, I was wrong.
I’m talking about a slave drive. It suddenly started clicking badly. I tried to run check disk on it from Windows (XP, that is), but chdsk would not launch. When I first restarted the computer it would not boot.
I removed the drive so that I could confirm that it was the slave and not the master. It booted up with no problem. I reinstalled the drive and Windows booted.
The drive is no longer clicking, but when I try to access it, a message pops up saying that the drive is not formatted and asking if I would like to format it.
I’m thinking this means the MBR is caput. Any thoughts?
