Alright made some progress, reformatted the one of the drives as it wasn't too important to recover data there but my original drive (the one that started it all) is still out and I am desperately trying not to lose the data on it.
So I was able to set it up as a slave the the reformated drive. When I try to access it in Windows Explorer, it says the drive is not formatted and asks if I want to. I've tried right clicking, it and running scan disk but nothing happens. Any ideas now?
Is it possible I screwed things up worse when I ran FIXBOOT/FIXMBR on it earlier? I would be satisfied if I could at least access my drive and copy over everything and reformat as necessary but I can't even access it right now...
