Help. SATA drive fail
BIOS recognizes my SATA 300 GB drive, but windows doesn't see it. Aconis Disk Director sees it, but simply says it's unreadable. Spinright crashes at 5672.
This is only the second HD in in the past 10 years I've had fail. The first one was a WD and at that time, I was able to recover the data from it with a dos based software, but I no longer remember the program or anything about it.
Anybody have any suggstions short of sending it back to Seagate? btw, the Seagate boot cd utility disk reviews it and simply says there are errors on it and to use traditional tools to repair: CHKDSK, etc.
