Ok. I'm guessing formatting will delete everything?Correct...Ugh. No im getting the "location is not available. D:/ is not accessible. The parameter is INCORRECT error. I have run the chkdsk and keep getting an unverified error 3 hours into the check.Where you able to get your pictures and other data off this drive yet?

That drive could be unhealthy. ODD that its mapped as D: where as in my systems every time I add a drive where prior I had a C: drive for Hard drive and D: for Optical Drive it has always added the newly added drive as E:

D: can sometimes be a recovery partition of a system too which hopefully you didnt wipe out your newer systems recovery partition.

If your computer has a recovery partition as D: which is another partition to the original C: drive, and a DVD ROM as E: , then adding this 80GB SATA drive should map as F: drive as the newly added drive even THOUGH it was C: drive on the older computer. Additionally if the older computer had more than 1 partition on that drive you might see a F: and a G:

So curious if the D: drive is REALLY this 80GB hard drive or not?Got it! Got all my pics. Thank you for all the help. I eventually ran the chkdsk D:/f/scan and after an HOUR everything showed up! Im so happy! Thanks again to everyone here who helped!Kewl Beans ! !
