A problem with NTFS Format

[whyIII]

hi, how about your data? I also encountered this similar problem just two days before. When I try to access to my portable harddisk (40GB), it is complained that "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable". The first thing I think is the partition information of the disk is corrupted. And I use Active(R) Partition Recovery to scan the disk and the whole data can be shown in the soft. However, I still can't access to the data. Finally, I use Easy Recovery Professional to recover data directly. Fortunately, all data are recovered. In your case, I am sure you don't need to worry about your data. As for the way to create and format your partition, I have no idea of it. GOOD LUCK.
