I have a 80 gig external Hard Drive with 1 corrupt file and a lot of other
good files in it. It was connected to a computer running XP. After upgrading
this same computer to Home Premium Vista,I am unable to OPEN this Hard Drive
unless I Format the whole drive? Vista is forcing a format on a H/D with
files on it that I need to keep??
I would be enormously grateful if there are Any Ideas on how I can retreive
my files, from this H/D??

Thank You....
