Lost my internal storage, its gone

I am sure I am not the first person this has happened to but my internal storage is gone. I did a hard reset using the settings->clear storage method. I used the option of clear storage only, and not format the internal storage hoping to keep it intact as I stored all my cabs there. So I did the hard reset and now my internal storage is not accessible. When I go through file explorer it is just not there. When I download a file via opera the onlyl storage option is main memory. When I sync with my PC and go to my phone in my computer, only device storage is there where before device storage and internal storage were available. I tried searching but didn't see anything. Any ideas how to fix it?

It'll scare the crap out of you for a minute won't it! At least the fix is easy enough.

ive had this happen to me and the way that ive fixed the issue without using the hotfix is i just plug the phone in and choose disk drive, then when the pc tried to detect the storage device i get the popup that says something like "the drive needs to be formatted to run correctly" or something like that.. i just format that bastard then when its completed i have my drive back.. however one thing that i noticed is that i havent been able to use that system setting in winmo where you type 1234, evertime i try to format using that feature thats when my drive disappears, maybe if i try that hotfix that problem will go away.. just thought id share
