DskProbe? Or a recovery program?

I think I have the following problem and as luck would have it, this has stopped access to my two storage drives.

Has anyone ever done this and could you provide some friendly advice before I do so.

Or would you recommend using a different way of retrieving the information.

Thanks

Unfortunately that didnt work. I didnt think it would otherwise it would have been in the fix that MS recommend. But thanks for advice anyway.

So back to recovering data, anyone?

give us more info..

were they working on an old XP pro install, then now don't work on Vista Home Premium?

testdisk may be the answer here, answer my qu before using it though

No I just unplugged a everything as I was installing a new cpu and when I plugged it back in it didnt show up.

It shows up in device manager. But in disk management is shows up as unreadable with a cross through it.

I had two basic drives with XP and Vista on, which still work. And two dynamic drives that had data backed up on, which now dont.

I was going to try getdataback? Anything else I should try before?

Thanks appreciate the advice

testdisk recovers partitions (and all data on them)

Would that apply to my situation. If you read the MS link that describes the problem better than I could
