I think im describing the after effects of a virus attack.
Im still running XP on my home computer when one morning it didn't boot up. I had an older drive which I installed to get me up and running. When I installed the original drive as a secondry drive I could not see it in my computer. When i went into the BIOS settings it was there...
I have tried using demo's of re3cover my files type of programs which also discoved the harddrive but these cost about £100 to purchase but I am unsure if this is the anwer I am looking for.
It would be nice to retain the files but my prioity is to regain the hard drive.
Many thanks for any advice you can give me.
Cheers
Kevin
