I think I screwed up ...folder/drive inaccessible
Hello all
I'm just hoping that what I did is recoverable. I had Win 7 on my computer until a few hours earlier with 2 users accounts on it. My account was admin and the other user account. My USB hard drive which is always connected was assigned permissions to my user account to prevent the other user from accessing the data. All fine until I decided to install Windows 8. I backed up all my important stuff I had in my user account on C: to my USB hard drive.
I formatted my main partition and installed Win 8 RP and noticed that my usb hard drive now shows up as NTFS and says inaccessible!!! I didn't backup any permissions and enabling folder permissions is a first to me as I never had more than one user on my computer. The data in it is invaluable and I need my data back. Is there anything I can do to recover the data myself?
Praying to the lord
