Hi all,

I have a 400 gb hardisk that I had problems with. Everytime I would copy something to it , it would freeze. I ran a CHKDSK and loaded to windows. If I click on the drive it does not crash but it tells me that the hardisk has not been formatted (and is not NTFS or FAT or anything) and I can not see any files. Should I run a file or format search? Should I format the drive as NTFS? Also should I search the physical drive or the option with the partition of the drive? In addition, after running a complete format and file search (not until 100 % done) all of the files found are named recovered document and then a number. After running a search will I then have to filter it? The issue os that the hardrive is 400 gb, its one big partition and all of this takes time. Is there a better solution? In the 400gb hardrive I am just looking for a folder named notes with some notepads. The folder is no more than 20 MB.Also the software doesn't seem to be able to build the folders of the drive.

Thanks,
Eric
