External Hard drive suddenly unformated
« on: June 20, 2005, 03:16:22 PM »
This has happened a few times now.  I have a maxtor 200gig hard drive hooked up to xp through a usb port.  Everything is fine and then one day I turn on my compurt and I am told the drive is unformated.  I know its formated casue it has all my back-up info on it and it just worked 2 minutes ago.  If I format it I will loose the data.  What is going on?  is it hardware or Xp, and how do I get the data back?
thank you,
Moon
