So, I tried it on another PC, same thing, didnt detect it. It went back and I got it replaced

754324 2009-03-07 01:37:00 You might be able to. Slave it, then see if a recovery program can see it. Blam (54)
754325 2009-03-07 01:37:00 so i take it you lost all your data? nedkelly (9059)
754326 2009-03-07 01:38:00 what program do you recommend blam? nedkelly (9059)
754327 2009-03-07 01:42:00 WT seems to recommend GetDataBack NTFS, haven't tried it, but WT says it good so it prob is.

The one I use is Active @ Partition recovery

For free programs-Recuva will probably do.

Does the drive show up in device manager?

754329 2009-03-07 01:52:00 If youve got other PC's (that have SATA 1), jumper that hdd to SATA 150 mode (move the jumper on it). The diagram on it, will show you how to Speedy Gonzales (78)
