I have a 250GB HDD partitioned off into 5 partitions, 4 of which are about 20-30GB each, the middle partition (which is where I store all of my downloaded TV, and other "important" stuff, etc) is about 140-150GB. I am running Windows XP Home.

It had been 2 years since I last did a clean install, and my PC was going slower by the day, so I thought it was time to do a rebuild. As I'd done the separate partitions, I had no problem with reformatting and rebuilding XP on the C: drive, as this shouldn't have any interaction with the other partitions (where my data was kept).

Anyway, I have reinstalled XP successfully, but now my largest partition (the one it's taken months to fill up) is reporting "The disk in Drive F: is not formatted. Format it now?" when I try to access it. The file system is shown as RAW. Any attempt at using the disk checking routine (via right click/properties) just ends up doing nothing.

So, first of all *argh*

And second of all, does anyone know of some decent freeware partition recovery? Or can anyone give me a hint about how to get around this!!

Thanks!
