Hey guys, one for the computer techs out there that may be able to help.

i have two internal hard drives in my computer.

one (80 gigs) is used as my main where i install windows xp, and the other (300 Gigs) is used as storage.

I recently reformatted the main one and re-installed xp, and now windows wont go into my storage drive, comes up with the following message:

"the disk in the drive is not formatted, format now?"


how can i fix this without using a program to recover all my 300 gig of data onto another hard drive.

cheers
