Hi

One of my external harddrives give me an error while trying to access it: I:/ is not available. An error occured when inpage-"step" was executed.
Maybe its something wrong with the harddrive itself but I doubt it because when I connected it harddrive to another computer it became infected with a trojan.
Anybody heard of a problem like this and knows what to do?

I solved it. Could access my harddrive by using Getdataback for NTFS and then copy all my data to another harddrive.
After that I just had to format the whole thing, now everything works just fine again:D
