I don't want to change topic from Larry's original post
but I does dound like the same problem I have. I simply
can't get windows to recognize the drive! I have tried
the Recovery Console commands FIXMBR G; (G is the drive
I'm having trouble with) and CHKDSK G; and I just get the
message "The volume appears to contain one or more
problem". It really would be nice if windows had a way to
fix this. I suppose I could try some software solution to
recover the files that I still want to save...? ANY IDEAS?
