ill_industries Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 ok heres the deal, im working on a friends system and i need to recover data from his hard drive on his system, the drive reads that the ntfs format is corrupted i plugged it into my computer to see if i cant get a look at whats left on the drive windows shows the drive in the device manager as installed and working fine however, when i open my computer, only my drives exist what am i doing wrong? ive already moved the jumper from slave to master and cable select with the same result p.s. it is a seagate barracuda 40 gig running IDE that im trying to access my drives run SATA but this shouldnt cause any conflict Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ill_industries Posted July 10, 2005 Posted July 10, 2005 trust me, its been reset a few times <_< i ran Seatools and everything passed except the NTFS format can a corrupted format cause complete loss of use? theres a ton of files i need to get off this thing if it werent for that, i woulda ran killdisk and reformatted it along time ago update: i gave up with trying to save anything on the drive i ran Active Killdisk (2 passes) and attempted to install a fresh copy of xp... no luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
