I have a similar problem. I changed my "C " drive and
my "F, G & H" drive had no registry, I can not access
all the files there. Does anyone know of a program to
access these drives. I checked WinUndelete, but it is
only good on deleted files. There must be a program,
either free or bought out there. AL SMITH
