hard drive mystery - really need help please-
hi there, ive had a maxtor 20gb hdd running in my parents pc for a while now and its jsut decided to die, ive popped it in to my own system and it recognises it as a slave disk ok with the usual 1980605 bytes etc etc at the sytem startup but then in windows its only recognised as a 10mb drive with 6mb free space. Can anyone suggest a way to resolve this so i can save the data, unless the whole disk is buggered i dont know.
Ive tried chkdsk which says its fine :s
