Ok, I've got an sata drive in an external enclosure that I use to back up my mp3s and stuff, yesterday I copied about 16 gig of stuff to it, about 30 mins later I "safely removed" from vista and turned it off. A couple of hours later I turned it back on to check something and I get the message " do you want to format this drive" AAAHHHGGGGG!!!!
I'm hoping it's the mbr of something like that that's got fried, has anyone got any suggestions as to what my first steps should be to try and fix the problem?
I've booted into XP and got the same message. the drive has given no problems up until now and is about 7 months old.
