Doesn't sound good. Can you feel the disk spinning if you put your hand on top of the case? Try swapping connectors around, if you don't get anything their I think it's gone.

I'd try another SATA or IDE cable, even if the OS isn't detecting due to damage the BIOS would likely detect any disk that spools up

This is the Drive I can’t find but I found in the Device Manager saying it is working:

Western Digital WD 120GB Internal IDE Hard Drive

And here is the proof, what’s going on ?

Bluey, go here and download this....

I've used it to revive drives a couple of times, but be very careful when choosing the actions so you don't accidentally wipe it.
Good luck :smile:

I don't know what else to suggest, any drive I've used it on which it couldn't fix has been chucked because nothing else would work.
Unfortunately your drive seems to be lost.... :???:
Hopefully someone knows more than I do, and can help.

I notice you have a malfunctioning RAID controller is this causing a conflict?

Also since you can see the disk properties in deviceman go to the volume tab to see if the assignment has changed. Whatever it happenes to be type that letter into an explorer address bar and see if it accesses.

Not that I can see :mad:

Nothing in volume as you can see :shock: :mad:

It looks like I will have to just use the drive that works until I can afford to take it to the shop. As I am on a DSP that could take a long time :sad: Thanks for all your help mate :grin:
