Hi

I recently had a problem with my secondary HD. When i get into windows its not displayed in my computer.
In disk management its say foreign disk and it will not let me import the disk.

Is there a way of recovering the data?

Thanks
 
Have you tried the exact procedure detailed in Windows help under Disk Status (foreign)? Your description of the problem indicates you may be inadvertently skipping some part of the process.

Good luck.
