Hard Reset Caused HDD To Not Read

June 13th, 2006, 0:46

Hey All,

I am new to this forum, and it seems that you all know a lot about recovering data, hopefully you all can help.

My computer was lagging and soon froze, so I did a hard reset. When I turned on my computer again, I noticed that my secondary drive was no longer accessible (just says E: Local Disk). Is there a way to repair this HDD so it can be read?

Some background about the situation:
============================================
    1) I enabled the feature to turn off my hard drives in Windows when my system went idle for 1 hr
    2)The system was lagging when I started playing music from the secondary hard drive (the one that doesn't work)
    3) When I turned on the system again my primary hard drive worked, but secondary was unreadable.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

ATM

Maybe u want to put more technical details.
Things like;
is your secondary drive a partition or is it a physical drive.
the make of your hdd, aka brand, specifications

Here are the specs:
    - 200GB Hard Drive
    - Western Digital
    - Secondary drive is one primary partition with NTFS

Any help will be appreciated.
