Hope someone can help. I had a HDD failure (corrupt boot sector) so I bought and installed a new HDD. I loaded winxp fully and then connected my corrupted HDD and rebooted. XP found it and installed it fine. When I try to explore it xp asks me to format the drive. i dont want to do this because there are a ton of files im trying to recover. Am I doing something wrong? Help me please!!!
