I've never had (on my personal computer) any type of virus or spyware for that matter. The drive is fine. I can access the NTFS portion of it, I just can't access the RAW file system where all my data resides. If there was a way to convert the RAW FS to NTFS w/o formatting, I'd be where I...

I used the the default settings when I installed 5.84. It was set to: Free Disk Space (and Master File Table Records), Cluster Tip Areas, and Directory Entries. The only thing I changed was the number of passes to 3. Like I said, it worked the first time I ran it and it worked on the internal...

I have a 300GB external hard drive w/ 128GB of free space before cleaning the unused space (v. 5.84.) Windows will no longer recognize the drive and insists on formatting. I've tried all forum suggestions (that I've found) w/ no luck. Eraser shows the unused space currently at 1KB. Which...
