My harddrive just got corrupted. =(
-
Okay umm, my slave harddrive just got corrupted all of a sudden. The wierd part is that, it was partitioned into two parts, drive E & drive F, and drive F got corrupted when I tried accesing it after my dinner. It was working fine before that. Yet, drive E which is part of the same harddrive is still working fine.
Anyone knows a possible cause of it, or what I can do with it now? Currently I'm just doing a virus scan on it.
All my things................GONE!

Very likely is a virus. U scanned?
-
Well, I can't seem to read the drive, so there's really nothing to scan on it. On the other hand, the rest of the drives which I scan seem to only have a few minor things like adware and all which I can't remove.
Seems like the problem is that I can't read the drive anymore, which is why it's gone. Under system restore, it says that the drive is offline, and under disk management, under the file system it just has a blank instead of NTFS. Reformmating the drive now.

Try swapping your slave drive to master drive. If it doesn't detect, the hard disk is spoilt.

Did you accidentally delete the partition during reformatting?
The drive shows up, but there's no details about the drive. -
Yes I was suspecting the same thing. You have to create a partition in that drive if you have accidentally deleted it, otherwise all that's in the drive is just unpartitioned space. If that's true than you will only see a blank drive, since the PC can detect its presence but cannot use its space.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Did you accidentally delete the partition during reformatting?

Nope, I left my E drive alone. Also after partitioning my F drive, everything was fine for the next 2 days, then suddenly my ocmputer couldn't read E drive. It's the same thing which happened to my F drive, but it doesn't seem to be a virus as I've already scanned my computer. It seems more like my computer has suddenly forgotten how to read the drive.Originally posted by PointBlue:Yes I was suspecting the same thing.

What hard disk are you using?
If it's Seagate, try this website. http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/
Run their diagnostic tools to see if your hard disk has any problems.
If there are no problems, you have to reformat the whole hard disk again. Both E and F drives.
