Info please. See below.

Right click on the drive in my computer and choose properties. What does it say is the file system. (He asked, knowing that they were going to say RAW....)

Go into great detail about what happened prior to this as well as the other info below.

You might want to see if the drive can be seen correctly with a Linux LiveCD:

A common problem with NTFS file system computers. I haven't discovered the connection yet, but in my last year I have NEVER seen it happen to a FAT32 file system computer. If anyone figures it out....
