ye it was just a repair. It turned out none of my usb ports were working, so i just formatted the disc an reinstall windows. But now another problem. Before i formatted, i transferre my files that i wanted to keep to my other hard drive (new received and installed today. When i went to open the new hard drive for the first time, it said it needed formatting. I did a quick format on it. Then it let me access the hard drive. I transferred all my music files, programs, poker games, pictures etc etc onto this drive before formatting, so then after windows reinstalled, i could still have them. After formatting and reinstalling windows, i tries to open the new hard drive E: with my files on, comes up this volume has not yet been formatted. Format now? NOOOO! So i couldn't access the hard drive at all, to gain access to my files. I asked my wiz computer friend, he told me to get part recovery, and try handy recovery, we been trying for about 4 hours, to try get my files back off this drive, but no luck at all. I have had enough and decided to format it as requested. But i searched online, and aparantly even after a full format you can still recover files from the drive? Anyone know if this is true and what program i can use? Without paying? I think it maybe a faulty drive anyway? I ordered a 320GB drive and i received a 128gb hard drive. I thought when i first installed it, it said 320gb, then my friend pointed out, its only 128gb. So after formatting, if its still 128gb (as it culd be faulty that way) i am going to email the seller, as i ordered and paid for a 320gb drive. Sorry for the essay
