Followup on a suddenly unformatted drive. I have decided that the
internal hard drive F: that Windows reports as being unformatted is
reported by BelArc advisor as this one:
Maxtor 6Y120M0 [Hard drive] (122.94 GB) -- drive 2, s/n Y3KTK99E, rev
YAR51EW0, SMART <http://www.belarc.com/smart.html> Status: Healthy
Why is it reported as healthy? Originally it was formatted as
compressed drive. It appears in Device Manager as working properly.
I have a backup of this drive from November 2007. I am concerned about
loosing stuff after that date, altho it probably isn't very much. I was
using this drive mostly as a backup of drive C:
Before reformatting, I want to know if there is a problem with Windows
instead of the drive.
