Harddrive issues
 

I have a non-boot drive that was used in XP, I moved it to a PC running 7 where it showed up as "dynamic" and unusable in 7, I moved it back to XP to copy the files before making it "basic" but it showed up as unpartitioned. Installed Easeus to attempt to recover the partitions, I reboot and now the drive shows up in Disk Management as "basic" but with no other stats. I'm pretty sure the boot drive with XP is also dying so I'm not sure if that's causing some of the problems or not.

Help?

edit: popped it back into 7 and it shows up as its full size but basic and unallocated.

How Can I Recover My Data from an Unallocated Hard Disk Space?

These sites seem to have the most relevant information/guides you're looking for.

Since this is playing around with your data, I should tell you that I only googled the issue and read the sites over. When it comes to recovering files, it's been hit or miss for me. I've never dealt with this particular problem.

Good luck!

I was able to "recover" the partition but now the drive shows up as RAW, booting up an Ubuntu live USB I can now read the drive just fine. I'm copying as much as I can to an external drive before I try to figure out how to convert a RAW drive back to NTFS using Ubuntu.

Once you've copied everything off, just delete and recreate the partition and format it NTFS.

That seems to be what I'll end up doing, it just sucks having to copy 2TB of stuff off a drive, just to go and copy it all back onto the drive.
