Just the other day I was looking up some data on my computer that I know I stored on my F drive, and I wasnt able to find it. Actually I couldnt find the F drive itself. The computer said that my f drive is not formatted and asked me if I would like to format it know. I guess, suddenly, my F: drive is not formatted? I dont know how that is possible I would appreciate if someone had similar problem and resolved it successfully, and if you can, please, share your experience.

You should try and use some of the data recovery programs, many of whom are available on the internet. I had some positive experience with Partition Table Doctor (http://www.ptdd.com). It helped me to rebuild a partition. It was completely successful, but Ive heard of some others that were partially successful and some recovered data was corrupted. I hope you will be of better luck then those people. The best part with Partition Table Doctor is that it takes very little time, I would say no more then a couple of seconds. Ive heard of a guy that spent 11 hours trying to recover his lost date and did nothing. Comparing to that, this is a piece of cake.
