    Question My Hard drive become unaccessable!?

    I have 2 hard drives on my PC. the one that gone bust is an ATA for back up and other stuff i dont use alot. It was still working about 2 days ago when i played videos off it, then today when i tried to do the same thing it suddenly said 'the drive is inaccessable, ...corrupted and unreadble'. I've tried restarting, made sure plugs are in and things like that but no luck! the Hard drive is still spinning but what's wrong?
    Once you got a Mac, you won't go back (apart from playing games, of course).

    Sounds to me like something else unmounted it within Windows (e.g. when converting from FAT32 to NTFS or changing some deep settings in the disk).

    Assuming the drive isn't actually broken then try in safe mode.

    There's still no luck. now windows can't even detect the HD on both modes when the main board can.

    Can you see it thro the control panel?

    Control Panel>Admin tools>Computer management>Storage>Disk Management

    You may be able to import it as a foreign disk if windoze has lost sight of it.

    It says the drive is not allocated. how do i allocate the drive? It just doesn't show up in the window?
    it does say the drive is working properly in device management.
