A few weeks ago, I bought a new HD, a 320 GB WD3200JB Caviar from Western Digital. Unfortunately, when I tried to install it, my motherboard broke. Now I got a new motherboard, and I put the new HD in, with my 2 old ones, and moved all my files to the new, big one. Everything looked good, all files were on the big HD, and I formatted the 2 others.

Now here is the problem. After formatting my old HD, I restarted the computer, and when wondows loaded again, I could no longer acces the new one. It shows in Disk Management as Dynamic - Unreadable. This is a problem, since EVERYTHING on my computer has been moved to that one... I might be able to make it work by partitioning it and formating again, but that would mean loosing all my files, some of which cannot be replaced...

Does anyone know of a way to make it work again, or atleast recover the files? If I can just get them back on the old HDs, I can format, and everything will be fine, but as long as I cannot open the HD, I cannot get the files out :(

Any help would be greatly appriciated...
