Dime04 Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Im kinda new at some stuff...what i need to know is if my hard drive has failed....I have 2 164g hard drives-4 partitions each. the first one is running fine and a week ago both were fine.but i kinda maxed out the 2 hard drive a little. I want to get the stuff off it but my pc doesnt see it at all now.Can some one help me figgure out if it is just locked or has it craped the bed? could it just be a partition problem and if so how to i retreave the stuff on 2nd drive. Thanks for any help.
ripken204 Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 does the bios detect it? if not then go inside the comp, disconect and reconnect the hdd wires.
Dime04 Posted March 7, 2006 Author Posted March 7, 2006 I have already done that and went through all the wiring to the mthrbrd. I have considered maybe the wire to the 2nd hd might have gone bad but i dont have anouther one right now. what about the consideration that maybe its is locked or hidden some how?
LLXX Posted March 7, 2006 Posted March 7, 2006 Does the drive spin up, and does it make any strange noises?
