Hi,

I'm having problems with my sata hard drive after reformatting. After i reformat and install my OS (windows xp) it says that my sata drive must be reformatted. However, I can't do this because I have a lot of data stored in it. This has happend twice already and i dont know why it is happening. If anybody can help i'd really appreciate it. Thank you in advance. I've also updated my windows up to sp2, but still to no success.

Well, it is possible that your other partitions may have gotten corrupted. Try booting to recovery console and try running chkdsk /r from there. If this does not solve your issue, you may need to give your HD to a professional data recovery company.
