Hard drive #2
I reformatted my primary hard drive and reinstalled windows....I didnt touch anything else...
My 2nd harddrive is now wanting me to reformat it ...........
Before doing so I have several programs and misc things I need to get ....
How can I go about recovering it?
Linux boot cd?

"This drive needs to be formatted. Do you want to format it now?"

no thats true, i got that when i did different partitions, i have 2 drives, with a total of 5 partitions (dont ask, i made an extra on accident, i was in a hurry). anyway, one of the partitions wanted to be formatted, it was the only one on the drive in NTFS, the others were FAT32 and ext3. anyway, was it a boot drive at anytime? id just set it as the master and take your old drive out. then use a CD burner. or find a version of linux that will read NTFS, but i dont know of any.
