I recently received a virus on my system that has rendered the HD's useless. When I disconnect the HDs and reinstall the OS with a new hard drive everything works fine (which should be normal).
When trying to attach the old infected HDs to a usb adapter in order to either recover files or format and start fresh, the drives are not visible by the OS or a recovery utility.
I know the files are on the HDs because when I have them attached to the sata port when installing the new OS the native DOS environment reads the disk for what it is at setup. It's only when the OS takes its first boot that the OS is corrupted by that infected disk.
Is there a something this forum may know of to help restore the drives and the information on them?
Thank you for your help
