no when i made a partition it was basic it is working fine for last year or so with no problem. I don't know whether i can check the data on it or not or is there any software to check. Also can you please tell me whether it can fixed or not i need all the data i have on it. My motherboard was restarting my computer again and again I even tried reinstalling the xp but it restarted half way through but that was on the c: drive not in this drive.i check the motherboard i was damaged so replaced the cpu memory and motherboard with new one. My previous was 800mhz but pentium and now one is celeron 2.4 ghz so i have no clue what to do i don't want to format cause i want my data. the drive western digital pleas help thanks for your response

Have you got access to another working machine? If so, try installing the problem drive as slave in that machine & see if you can read it there. It sounds like you (still?) have a hardware problem on your machine - and hardware problems can cause all sorts of symptoms - which is why I'd suggest checking the drive elsewhere if you can.
