Hey guys this is my first post here, greetings =)

I had some computer problems the other day and ended up formatting/re-installing Windows today on my 80GB SATA drive. But my second HDD, a 300GB SATA that I use to store of all my music and movies, is coming up as a RAW drive and I can't access any files. I found a program that can apparently save files by copying them to another drive, but I don't have the space for it on the 80, and it isn't free. Is there ANY way to recover the entire drive? W/out having to copy files to the other drive to salvage them? Any help would be greatly appreciated =)

We'll I feel like an idiot. All I needed to do was install the Maxtor Software and enable support for drives larger than 137GB, that solved the problem and all of my files were accessable immediately. Thanks to those who read this and tried to help =)
