Hello all. I don't know a lot about computers and lately I need desperate helps from you guys. I used a Toshiba laptop with an extra external hard drive (Buffalo brand). It worked out fine until one day I plug in another portable hard drive into my system. I turned on both hard drive (with Buffalo comes later) and ever since then I have start up problem with my Buffalo hard drive. It always in the reading mode and 1 out of 10 tries it'll stop reading, but the computer doesn't recognize this hard drive. It becomes "local disk" and I just couldn't find any files in this hard drive anymore. It now becomes a FAT32 drive. According to its properties, the hard disk space is 130gb out of 150gb are being used. With that being said, the hard drive appears empty and I couldn't find my old file!
I understand a simple click of "Format" would solve the problems but I really wanna save all my pictures for the last 3 years plus important documents. I'm really desperate and hopefully someone out there would like to help me to solve this problem! Thanks million times in advance.
Dennis
