serious problem with hard drive
ok, i origionally formatted my HD on my friends PC with an XP partition of 149GB, I went and put it on my Win 2000 PC and it ran great even though win 2000 only supports partitions up to 132 GB but since there was no problem when I put it in there blank i didn't think much of it....About a week ago i hit about 132.0001GB of space used on the HD and all of a sudden it rings up as not formatted. I have been asking around but no one knows how to do it and I am not willing to formatt it and loose all of my video for the Halo movie me and my friends were making. I seriously need help with this. please.

Win2K does support over 132gb as long as it has SP4 and your bios supports 48 bit LBA. Download and install SP4. If you are lucky you didn't corrupt it but it doesn't sound good.

MAYBE with data recovery software, but you can't recover in place, you will need another large drive to recover it to, and it will take a LOT of time.
