i recently had the following problem and talked with someone on another thread about recovering date from a hard drive(see below). well i was able to recover the data but when i formated my 2nd hard drive windows reconizes it as being a 127GB hard drive. when it is really a 500GB HD. i used partition magic to look and see if a partition was hidden but partition magic sees the HD as "bad" it is a 500GB serial-ata hard drive. device manager reconizes it as the maxtor it is

"ok i recently messed up my o/s and had to reinstall. so i went from windows 2k to having both 2k and xp pro to completely formating and putting xp home on it. well i was able to access my second hard drive with no problem until i completly formated the drive with my o/s and put xp home on here. now when i click to open the harddrive it tells me " hard drive not formatted would you like to formate?" I'm only keeping xp home on here until i find win 2k pro. but i have everything on my other hard drive anyway of saving it?"
