hello guys. i'm having a strange problem with my hdd. last week i changed the security settings for drive f: found on the drive properties. unknowingly i checked the deny delete option. it was fine i couldn't delete the files, but after formatting the c: drive and reinstalling xp, i couldn't access the f: drive. i gave an error "Acess denied". after googling i finally found a way. the drive is accessible in my computer but it doesn't show in the disk management or disk defragmentator. and whenever i delete a file on f: drive, it doesn't go to the recycle bin, it gets permanently deleted. will reinstalling xp help. can someone help me out of this. thanks a lot.
