Guys, my 500GB internal HDD is acting weird.. I have another 1TB int. HDD(currently using), i can't get past windows loading screen even when 500GB HDD in connected as secondary drive..

I tried connecting the HDD while in windows & the OS drive alone i not accessible..

I have some very important files in this drive, what should i do?

that system reserved partition should NOT show up, I think your partition tables are messed up

Try using Ubuntu Live CD and accessing. Home | Ubuntu
