it is like the hdd formatted on its own.all my 20 gb data wuz lost in a flash.
i repartitioned it and it worked fine for sum time but then it showed me a msg that one of my drives needs to b formatted before i kin use it.i had to format it again.dunno y this is happening.i use windows xp pro and windows 98.both of the operating systems r on my samsung 80 gb.
