I have a Hitachi 250GEIDE back up drive I am trying to get my files off of. I had it in a portable USB case,and it always worked fine, but after some windows problems it wont read anymore.I know the drive is good. When I use it in the case and plug in, windows finds the hardware but will not read it, I don't see the drive in my computer, I see it in devices, but all windows tells me is I need to format it .
I tried to install it in my computer to access it, but still not luck. I have an MSI K8N-NEO4-FI MB , running windows 7 64bit. I installed the drive and set the jumpers to slave. When I ran setup it saw it as the secondary slave, and my hard drive was the third master. I checked the hard drive order and my main drive was 1st M and the backup was 2nd S. So that all looks right. When I start my comp, it comes up to starting windows, but sits there, with the blue hard drive activity light solid, but windows never starts.
The data may be corrupted, I don't know how, but I cant believe I cant access the data somehow to get it off. Any suggestions would help.
