My girlfriend's computer's mobo seemed to be fried, so I pulled out my old machine (Win2k SP4) from 2002. By the way all drives are from Western Digital. My computer had a 40gb C and 250gb D drive. She had a 120gb drive with all files stored on that drive. I wanted to copy all of her files onto my D drive. I copied those files from the 120gb file onto my 40gb drive. Then I installed my 250gb drive and proceeded to transfer the files from the 40gb drive onto the 250gb drive.
First I noticed some of the files/folders would not open. The message was: "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." Most of the files/folders on the 250gb files would still open. Then one-by-one the rest of the files/folders became "corrupted and unreadable". Upon reboot from trying to get my Internet connection to work again, now the 250gb drive (D) says used space, free space, and capacity are all 0 bytes. Upon startup BIOS still recognizes both the WD400 and the WD2500 drives.
Any suggestions? I never deleted anything from the WD1200, so all of that data is safe. However, I'm very concerned about a year's worth of data on the WD2500 that was not backed up. I would appreciate any help you guys can offer!
