Hello,

I had to format my C: drive recently and install windows XP sp2. I have a (slave) D: drive with a lot of content before I had to format C: Now that I reinstalled windows, I see on the properties of the D: drive File System: RAW, free space and used space as zero.
I am guessing I have to format my drive, but if I do that all the files I have there will be deleted, right? Is there a solution or resolution for this? Is there any back to make backups? I don't want to lose my files. Thanks.
 
People must be tiring of reading this question from me, but did you have a program called GoBack installed on your C: drive prior to reformatting? If not, then my next guess is that your D: drive is formatted with NTFS, and if so, I've yet to see a solution posted here other than using a data recovery program such as GetDataBack to retrieve data.
