    Hi guys i need your help me please suggest asap what can i do to fix this problem

    I had IDE hard disk and all my data was saved in that hard disk but I've got a new system where i got sata hard disk and then i connected both hard disk through sata to IDE cable, i got all drive's data except one drive and this drive is really very important for me because i had stored all webs related in this drive and when i try to open this drive i get this error msg:

    now please suggest me what is the solution and how can i access my drive? Should i need to get any data recovery software or what?

    1.
    since you did NOT re-format that data-containing drive
    all data are supposed to be on the drive as before
    hence
    use the SAME drive with a system comparable to your previous system and safe all data as usual
    2.
    there should be NO need for any recovery software since you did NOT reformat/delete the data
    3.
    if you need more help, then you need to be MUCH more specific and tell at least the details of OS BEFORE and now as well as filesystem type of original data

    If the error message "Drive is not formatted" poss up, it means that your hard drive becomes raw and there is something wrong with your boot sector. The probelm will be solve if you formatted the hard drive. You can learn solution fom this article: http://www.easeus.com/resource/disk-not-formatted.htm.

    When you encounter this problem, don't format the partition, first, recover the file. after that, reformat this partition to use.
    There are many data recovery software, but no free recovery software to fix this problem, luckly, I found a $69 software for beta with full functions, worth trying, I have used it, hope it helps you, too.

    You just need to recover the files and then reformat partition. I have used one backup software and I found its company has one data recovery software. May be you can download it and have a try. It can do format recovery, unformat and recover deleted files emptied from Recycle Bin or lost data due to partition loss or damage. It is easy to use. You can google data recovery wizard.
