I have an older 20 GB HD WD 205BA ( that I can't access thru WinXP Pro. It says it has bad sectors, it might. I havn't used it for over a year so maybe it went bad. The problem is I need some of the files off of it. I used it with this same computer before. It runs, BIOS sees it, XP did Chk Dsk, XP sees it in D Mangr. I can see it in Dsk Mangr. I just can't see it in My Computer. Dev Mangr prop says it's working.
My comp has A8V-X ASUS MB. Main HD is 640GB SATA. I have the WD in question in IDE 1 and setup as slave. Comp was giving problems just booting this it took awhile n when it came up to windows I noticed it to be sluggish. So what can I do to access this HD? Heres a pic of how it shows up in Dsk Mangr. It's 19.11GB disk 1 with the no go red mark on it. IOt says unallocated but I know it should have files n folders on it. Thanks
