After switching from IDE to AHCI disk requires formatting to be recogn
I reinstalled windows, and went with AHCI for eSata hot swap.
2 of my 6 drives did not appear in my computer.
1 of them I just assigned a drive letter in DM and it is fine.
the other, which was previously working, says it requires initialization, which I did, and assigned a drive letter....
I stopped short of performing a format ( to preserve the data) but it is listed as raw and unaccessable.
I am not sure what to do now as I have a raw drive that I cannot access...which a few hours ago had several hundred gigabytes of data.
the drive in question is a 1tb seagate 7200.11
EDIT: the other thing I did was move the drive from a jmicron controller to an intel controller on the MB.....all 6 drives are now on the intel controller sata ports
thanks
