Drive not opening

[Archishman]

I have two operating systems, one centred in C and another in E. I mostly use the E drive and it is near full. Today there was a power cut, and as my ups is out of repairs, the computer was shut down abruptly.

After the power came I find that the OS on E is not opening.

I tried safe mode etc. but when the black XP screen comes it just reboots.

I opened the OS on C and tried to open the E drive. It says 'Drive E is not formatted. Do you want to format now ?'

I have a lot of important files in E and do not want them erased by formatting.

I tried a disc check, nothing happened. I tried to defrag, it said there was error on E and I tried to back up, all files were skipped and error was reported.

Please tell me what I can do to save my drive ? It's very urgent. I do not want to lose my files. PLEASE HELP!

try using Windows Installation CD and at the installation screen select repair Windows. If it doesnt work check if your hard disk for any errors
