[SOLVED] e drive (gone)

revelate · 01-01-2009, 02:01 PM

Hi guys,

I am running an acer aspire 5100 with vista home premium sp1.
Today i found my e drive has gone for a walk, and i'm buggered if i know where the hell its gone?

I have done a system restore (to no avail) its showed up in safe mode once and i have'nt seen it since.

I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer me.

PS: (this is great by the way) Because there is no e drive i cannot fix it by reinstalling windows

Cheers everyone...
