I recently formatted my main hard drive, C, and whilst I was doing so decided to add another, from my old pc, now labelled D. For a couple of days all was well, then I got the message on trying to open D:

"The disk in D is not formatted. Do you wish to format it now?"

Or something similar. After trying various solutions, I eventually formatted the drive, as there was nothing on there that couldn't be reinstalled easily.

However, now I worry that something sinister has happened to my second hard drive. Predictably enough, upon exploring the drive, no files are shown. However, in the properties window, I get the following information:

Used space: 65.4 MB
Free space: 31.4 GB
Capacity: 31.4 GB

IIRC, it's about a 75 GB hard drive. Definately over 60 GB.

Has anyone got any idea what's going on? If it helps at all, I believe the amount of free space that was on the hard drive BEFORE the error was roughly, if not exactly similar to 31 GB. Hmm.

Any help appreciated!
