Hi there, I have read everything possible on this and tried them all... You guys are my las ressource. I made a bad mistake, I have 2 HD and i installed XP on my first drive, but when i did, i removed the partition from the second drive (Wich has ALL my important stuff). Now i'm running with a new windows XP, but i can't get the files from my second drive. I tried to partition it and convert in NTFS but it says the it can't convert RAW drive. What can i do???
