For some reason Windows thinks I have to reformat my second hard drive. Out of the blue it can't read it so it quickly wants to reformat it. I know doing so will erase everything....I know for a fact that untouched data is still there and can be recovered. My computer just needs a way to recognize it.....Windows can't do it....how can I save my HDD? I tried everything windows has to offer, but every program wants to reformat it.....I just need my computer to recognize it. The HDD is good, there is just an error somewhere. This happened to me once, but eventually solved it self.....I WILL NOT reformat, I just need a solution.

Weird, weird problem. I boot up the computer, fans spin, it beeps, etc and then about 6 seconds into the process, it looses power. Replaced the powersupply with another, larger-watt supply. No difference. Cleared the CMOS, no difference. Strangely, if I hold the restart button on the case in, it continues to boot up. The moment I let go of the restart button, it dies, no power...I'm about to clip the 2 wires from the restart button and solder them together if I can't find a more sophisticated approach.

I have basic computer skills. I know what RAM is and what a hard drive is but most of what I do on the computer is self taught. But alot of the jargon I don't know either. Example I don't know the difference between CPU and a computer. I thought they were the same thing. I know how to copy and paste w/ the ctrl c & ctrl v buttons but that's about it. Please any input would greatly help. I need this job.
