I have a 80GB USB hard disk which windows used to identify as USB Mass Storage Device.
It used to run perfectly before, having 2 partitions g:\ and f:\, but now it doesnt recognize them.
It happened yesterday when i was tweaking my pc from this site:
*www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=235571
I made the following changes:
1. Right click on 'my computer' > select 'properties' > Go to the 'hardware' tab and select 'device manager' to open the device management window.
Expand 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' and highlight the 'primary IDE channel.'
Right click the highlighted entry and select 'properties.'
Go to the 'advanced settings' tab.
and so according to the post. But i reverted it back to default but still nothing happened.
2. DISABLE UNUSED PORTS & DEVICES
This also, reverted by system restore.
However, when i open up Partition Magic, it shows the second disk but as 76GB unallocated. What happened to my data(about 40GB) and my two partitions?
