Solve : Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 IDE Drive? |
|
Answer» I recently had to reinstall WINDOWS XP and after doing so my Primary SLAVE Drive which is a Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 IDE Drive is recognized in the Device Manager, ALSO in Windows Explore but as a Removable Disk Drive and asks for a disk to be inserted and it also shows up in the Windows Disk Manager but has 3 partitions - 1 unallocated - 104.01 GB - 1 Healthy Unknown Partition - 811.57 GB and a second Healthy Unknown Partition - 259.39 GB which is almost 1175 GB of space on a 500 GB drive, doesn't make much sense? I have un-installed the drive and reinstalled it, also tried to change the IDE configuration, checked the jumper settings and they are OK. I am at my wits end because I have some valuable information stored on this drive I would and need to access. Can anyone help me? Thanks, azdragon1) When does it ask for a disk to be inserted? 2) What is the EXACT message you are getting? 3) How many partitions were on that drive originally? 4) What operating system(s) was/were on that drive originally?Yes it asked for media to be inserted Please insert disk into drive. There were 3 partitions No operating system on this partition for Drive D:\ Windows XP Pro was on the first partition Drive C:\At this point your best bet is to hook it up as a slave drive on a working system and try and recover your data... Then i would DLoad and run the drive mauf. diagnostics on it before trusting it for your important data. Good Luck. |
