Is drive corrupted / dying?
This morning I had a power failure and I dont have a UPS.
OS is Win98SE On reboot, I found that a bunch of files and folders had disappeared from my D drive (20Gb Maxtor) including my email message store, phones books etc. and 10Gb of stored photos. The drive seems to be working fine now, but explorer shows it as having 670mb of used space only and 19+Gb free. Any suggestions as to what might have happened, and is there anything I can do to retrieve the missing data? Is this drive on the way out or does the problem lie elsewhere? TIA Nick. |
