Ok heres the situation i'm currently facing;
I just closed a game i was playing using task manager because it froze, when i got a ballon notification saying my secondary drive was low on available space, when i opned up my computer to check it out the hard drive lable was " " the system was FAT, the total capacity was 7gb and the available space was 9mb; instead of being labled "Tv&movies" with NTFS as the file system and it's a 200gb hard drive that at last check had 14gb free, i whent to open it up and my computer just shut off so i gave it 10 mins and turned it back on only to get this wierd yellow check disk screen as apposed to the normal blue one. then my computer whent into a serious of restarts, when i switched it off removed my seconed HDD and restarted it, it works fine now and i can see the files on my 2nd hdd using a external usb device. and as long as i don't click that stupid ballon notification thingy that runs the auto drive cleaner my computer doesn't shut itself off.
if it helps these are my pc Specs:
P4 2.6 HT enabled processor
intel D865 Perl motherboard
1gb ram
Nvidia Geforce FX 5600
main hdd is a Western Digital 320gb
the secondary hdd is a Samsung 200gb
both are IDE hdd.

If any one can help me restore my 2nd hdd back normal working order it would be much appreciated;
Thanks EDwarD0

Hi there ! Try using WinHex, or Partition Find and Mount (simpler)
