If you can see the data then it wasn't wiped. You may have a different problem, but,
since you can see the data, you should be able to retrieve it. XP seems to do some
strange crap from time to time. If you can access the drive via the drive letter,
you might try RUN/CMD (from the Start Button.) Then do a XCOPY D:\*.* C:\TEMP\ to
your primary drive. D: is whatever the drive letter of the fritzed up drive is and
C: is your primary drive. This assumes you have a TEMP Directory on the C: Drive.
XCOPY copies directories and files.
