friends i am having atypical problem. iwas trying to install a dvd writer (. at liteon).
at first the system does not recognised the drive and showed a message during boot up that
80 conductor cable cable(????!!!) is disconnected. the machine didnt boot then
i tried to connect it replacing my cd writer. after that i disconnected my dvd rom drive and replaced
it with the dvd writer. i got the same message but somehow the machine started but it was very slow.
i removed the dvd writer and put back the dvd rom. then i started the machine again and it run quite
normally except that all my songs and music videos were lost which were stored in a separate partition.
well i did tried to reinstall windows by formatting the c partition only.
but the partition was not formatted at all although it displayed that formatting was
almost complete( i tried to format the partition before reinstalling windows from win xp cd).
i have two hard disks. one is a 40 gb samsung another a 80 gb seagate.
windows is loaded on the 1st one and the songs mostly on mp3 format were on the 80 gb disk.
now when i start the computer in my computer it is showing the music partition is corrupted and unreadable.
iam using amd athlon 2600+ processor with asus a7v8x mobo. 768 mb ddr ram at 333mhz with win xp pro patched with sp2.
plz help guys. i had over 15gb of songs and music videos on that partition . is there any way i can retrieve those?
