Ever lock your keys inside your car? I think that's what I just did with one of my TT's hard drives.

My older hard drive has ALL of my documents, programs, spreadsheets, and music on it that I use every day. I also have a newer IBM drive which I've been trying to reformat from 520 bytes per sector to the standard 512. I've been changing between the two drives trying to find a HD utility that works.

Anyway, I decided to try a program that came with HDDriver -- BigDOS in a folder
called XHD. It came up with a screen that asked me a Y/N question. I typed N
and noticed that I had the old hard drive attached, instead of the new one.

So I rebooted, keeping the older hard drive attached and now it won't boot.
HDDriver doesn't seem to recognise the drive and it makes a knocking sound when
the drive is tried to be accessed (kind of like a ruler being slapped over the
edge of a desk).

What the hell did I change? Can I change it back or is all the information on my drive gone forever? I'm pretty sure the last program I ran was called BigDOS and was in a folder called XHD or something like that but I can't check because I can no longer access the drive!

Can anyone help? I'm lost with the contents of that drive!

A thounsand thanks in advance,

Steve
