Hard Drive Problem... HELP!!

Hi guys, i am counting on you for this one as you've always been great help in the past.

My problem is this
I have 2 hard drives
main is SATA and the other one was on IDE channel 1 (primary)

i had data on the IDE hard drive, and today i put in another IDE drive as a slave under that one, yes i did all the pins correctly and all that. However when i turned on the computer, it saw both drives as unformated!!!
i freaked out as i have tons of ESSENTIAL data on my IDE 1, so now i took out the second IDE and made it all in the original setup..in other words
My main SATA is normal obviously, where windows is installed
and my IDE i had,,is still being viewwed as unformated! i did not format it! and when i start up the computer, it always recognized new IDE drive, but sais installation not successful because it is not meant for this platform..?

my question is...how do i get my data back!? / how can i view the files again?

i repeat i did not format the drive , the only thing i did is name the partition! aka give it a name.. G:/
etc..


HELP PLEASE!
thank you!

Is your computer plugged in correctly?

Try restarting it.

if you dont need what is on the second drive, you can boot with both IDEs.

The first IDE (g: ) is where your essential files are.

The Second IDE (h: ) is the second drive that started this mess.

Install a disk recovery utility (I reccomend R-Studio or R-Undelete) onto your SATA. Use the program to recover everything it can from G: to H:. You're then free to format G while using H to see what you can recover. You may not get everything back. I'm not sure why this happened to you.

There may be other solutions, so I wouldn't rush to try this

tribu, thanks for the help, and thanks for the link, im getting the demo now to try this,
you're right the G:/ has the important files on it, i took the second one out, so now its only the SATA and the IDE
