Initialized Disk showing as not Initialized

by knackerless . Updated 16 years, 4 months ago

I have a Maxtor internal IDE drive and have installed it and had it all running fine. I have saved all the photos and video from the first 2.5 years of my daughter’s life to this drive. Suddenly after a reboot it is no longer available in Explorer, and when I go into Disk Management it shows up as Not Initialized and unallocated.

How can I safely get this working again without endagering any of the data on there?

Help would be much appreciated as I’m sure you can imagine!!
