I Tried formatting my 2nd HardDrive the other day, being the misguided fool I was I assumed the WinXP Formatting thingie would work fine. So it did its thing, make the funny noises and all that. Finally finishes wiping all the goat&dwarf por... nuuurrr.... letters from various charities thanking me for my donations... yes, that'l do...
*Cough*
Anyway, it finished wiping everything. However afterwards it didn't do the thingie which makes it readable again. So now I essencially have a £30 lump of metal and plastic attached to my PC which I can't use and don't want to touch for fear of the evil that lurks within it.
All I want it for is to hold backup copies of all my important files and such (as well as my charity letters) - can anyone help?
Ta in Advance
