Hello. All of a sudden my secondry master harddisk (maxtor 80gb) gone bad. It is still seen in device manager, and opens in explorer, but when i try to read or write from it - the speed is about 30kb/s - slower than a floppy. First I ckecked DMA issue. Than I tried to put it in another IDE channel (primary slave instead of seconary master) - I also tried forcing PIO mode in bios - notheing helps.
I can't copy my documents away from this harddisk. Once I start copy process (it shows 30kb/s) - than i get an error.
If i try to run scandisk - Windows freezes..
I even put this harddisk in my second computer, and all is the same there.
I looked in google for help - and found some Maxtor disk utility - but it creates bootable floppy. I don't have floppy drive in any computer.
What else can i do?
