 Posted: Tue, 27th Feb 2007 04:23 Post subject: my SATA drive and vista |
|
 |
My main hard drive crapped out on me the other day and I had to buy a new one and also picked up Vista. Thing is, my 3rd hard drive is the SATA hard drive and it's not showing it anywhere. It was working fine before. I just want it to show up so I have the hard drive back cause I have a ton of files on it. And hopefully to get it back I don't have to reformat it. Any ideas?

Does it show up during boot (or in the bios?)

Mine did that once and that was because there wasnt a partition created on the drive so it could be read. Doubt this is your case as you said there was already files on there? You might also try ERD Commander

But you'll have to use XP to use it. |
