44 (hex) type 44 Partition

I am not positive, but I suspect that this means that the master boot record
is corrupted.

You might be able to fix this under XP by using the FIXMBR command of the XP
recovery console. Here are some links thta explain how to use the recovery
console:

Another approach would be to get some file/partition recovery software and
see whether that can "see" files and/or partitions. This would confirm that
the data is really there, but that the boot record is bad.

For partition identifiers, look here:

Finally! Now that makes sense...The drive in question
was set up as a data storage location on a raid board,
with "GO-Back" installed on the "system" drive.
I will attempt to access the drive by installing "Go-
Back" on the "new" system drive.

Thank you, this is the most progress in a month...

Just to let you know, the partition is a "Go-Back"
partition, I re-installed the "Go-Back" program and found
the files to be intact.
I'm still working on a few corrupt or "unsigned
drivers" issues but life is good, I'm a patient man
(sometimes) and I feel confident that the problems can be
resolved. I'm looking for signed drivers for I/O MAGIC'S
Typhoon Theatre sound card...
