Help! While trying to back up my main drive onto my second (D) drive
I must have deleted summat :confused:
as now it doesn't show up in windows explorer. :|
although I can see it in device manager.

Using bootmagic I try to boot up from it and just get
a b/w screen saying there is a problem with (I think?) with your config files
please select option 5 only and run SCANREG

How the feck do I do that :confused: I've tried typing "scanreg" :$
but nowt happens.

Can I remove it from device manager and then it will be detected on restart
or will this have no effect and cause more pain??

I am quite happy to lose the data on it as it is only out of my old machine with back ups from my main drive.

I just don't want to lose anything else :cry:

The problem (I think) is not letting me run partition magic cos it keeps detecting the (fecked) OS on the D drive

Hopefully if I can run partition magic I can split my main drive to use as a back up and upgrade to a new OS.

Any help will be much appreciated :D
