My pc running XP crashed the other day, it rebooted fine but now does not see one of its disks.
The pc see the hd under bios etc and when go into computer mangamanet / disk mangamant it see the drive as unformattted space.
I know that there is information on this drive,
Is there a way to repair the master boot record to enbale the contents of the drive to be seen or just format the hd and then use something like easy recovery proffesional to get the data back

Any ides most gratefully accepted

thanks

The only way I know of doing it is to run fdisk /mbr.

Worth doing a search on google just to make sure it's what you want to do
