Hi All,
I had my laptop hard disk crash on me a week or so ago and I am now
trying to recover the data from it. I have replaced the drive with a
new one and now have the broken one a Toshiba MK4019GAX IDE 40GB
connected to my desktop which detects it in its BIOS but will not
detect it in disk manager. I have found a few XP utilitys from web
site http://lists.gpick.com/pages/Hard_Disk_Tools.htm
that also find the disk but again will not let me access it or address
to read the sectors or data on it.
I have seen websites that say they can fix disks that appear in the
BIOS but wont be addressed by OS's due to some sort of damage but they
want £500 to £1000 for this recovery service, Ive only lost about 3
months of data so I really dont want to have to pay this.
Has anyone been through this sort of problem themselves and could
offer any tips on my best course of action.
Many Thanks
