the drive is slaved o a working system, but the directory structure is gibberish. the files are mostly there, but many names are gone and the folder structure seems to have evaporated. thats my main issue.

after various horrid hard drive problems, i am trying to recover data using stellar phoenix and ontrack. usually, one of these apps successfully recovers all directories i ask it to, but now much of the directory structure and many of the files seem unrecoverable. i don't understand how recovery...

yes i was using drag/drop. thanks for the codebetter link, freestone! i went into the device manager, where i see 3 network devices. one is my modem, one is a pci network card and one is the onboard network device on the motherboard. i went into properties /advanced on my pci network device...

ok. i went into partition magic dos mode and found the unpartitioned space was visible there. it was not possible to resize the partitions, only to delete and recreate them. so, having two disks with duplicate data i went through the following sequence: 1 delete partition on 160 drive in dos...

disk manager displays 128Gb disk with a 128Gb partition.

both large disks were formatted after xpsp. disk manager still quotes 128Gb, although the registry says 48lba is enabled. both the large disks contain duplicate data at the moment, so i guess as a next step i could reformat on of them in partition magic and see how much space it lets me have. is...

aaaahh... thats good to know.

i ran the 48lba test and it came up positive. i also ran killdisk and these are the values it gave me: w d (should be 200Gb) mobile lba yes cylinders 387621 tracks per cylinder 16 sectors per track 63 total sectors 390721968 bytes per sector 512 total size 186Gb (200049647616bytes) 127Gb...

alas, no.

disk size shown as 128 or 137.

i ran the maxtor big drive enabler, which is supposed to turn on 48-bit LBA, and updated my bios. according to the abit site my board supports 160Gb as standard and over 160Gb with bios update. i'm still hitting a ceiling of 128Gb depending on where i look at the disk sizes.

i haven't run checkdisk on either drive because it didn't seem like a problem with the drive itself. the service pack was installed immediately after xp install. i can find the registry folder the article mentions but can't see the EnableBigLba entry. i've checked the atapi.sys file version and...

it does sound like stuke has a similar problem. i'm running xpsp2 as well. i've checked the link and though it sounds kinda feasible, i am running the service pack, and the 128Gb ceiling my drives are hitting is lower than the 137Gb they quote on the page. i've double checked, and the drive...

pentium4 2.4ghz abit sa7 motherboard 533mhz bus disks: 40gb(ok), maxtor.160Gb(shown as 128Gb), west.dig.200Gb(shown as 128Gb) the sizes of all the above disks are displayed correctly in bios, but winxp (disk management) and partition magic only see 128Gb space on each of the large disks. the...

i bit the bullet in the end and bought another disk to recover the data to. stellar phoenix crashed every time i tried to scan the disk, ontrack found all the data, but none of the volume or file names (nice), but r-studio did the deed and successfully recovered the entire directory structure...

hi. yes, the drive is visible in bios as well as windows, it just shows no format. there is no change in the jumper setting - otherwise i wouldn't be seeing it at all, would i? anyhow, the case hadn't been opened for weeks before this. i have got the maxtor hard drive utility, but as far as i...

doesn't seem to have had any effect. as this is not the os drive we're talking about, shouldn't i be able to fix this within windows?

could you elaborate on that please?

hi. i think i've lost the header to one of my internal disks. this is a storage only disk, and contains no software but regularly accessed files. after a system reboot, the disk name was magically reset to 'local disk', and the file system changed from ntfs to raw. whenever i try to access the...
