Recommended Posts

I had to change my booting internal hard drive because it was not working. The new Internal HD has installed ok & is working (I have reinstalled Windows XP - eventually I am going to upgrade) BUT the external HD (a Seagate 1TB) that I had saved ALL of my files & documents on as backup to use when I got the PC back up working is now showing as 'RAW - you need to format your drive'

 

I need help- is this a common occurrence when a new Internal HD is installed & the OS re-installed? Can I try it in a different PC? What can i do?

 

 

Many thanks for any help
