@teagues - Where do you stand now? Have you backed up your data - off the computer? Have you done anything?
Yes, I have tried. I put the recovery disc back in and tried to do a full restore, without backing anything up on my hdd, just to see if that is what caused it. But that did not work, as both the C and D drive came back with the same properties. I have backed up what I need off the hdd, that is why I tried that.
Then, I got a program called partition magic 8. But, once I try and install it, it asks me to insert a 3.5 floppy with 1.44MB for backup purposes. I don't have a floppy drive on my computer, so I click the browse button to use another drive, which is my CD/DVD drive, and it won't allow me to use CD-r or DVD-r to back up. It just has an error message that comes up-"this CD is write protected, please use another CD or remove write protection." The problem is, I can't figure out how to remove the write protection from these Cd's. Any advice?
Also, I tried to do a system restore through the hdd, not with the recovery disc, but an error message tells me that I need at least 200mb of space to do it, and I don't have that available in the C drive.
