0 Bytes On HardDrive

[NTICompassInc]

All of a sudden, my HardDrive says that there are 0 Bytes free space and 0 Bytes used, and it has a capacity of 0 Bytes.

But, all my files are still on the drive, and windows can read all of them. I can delete files, but I can't add any.

When I try to save something to the drive, I get a "Disk Full" error, and then my A:\ drive starts spinning.

run the diags from the maker of the drive, if it is a seagate it can be tested online.

Just in case this drive is on its way to its maker, you would be well advised to back up all important data if you've not already done so. Running disk diags is a good logical step to take, but it has been known to tip a dodgy drive "over the edge"...

The drive is a Maxtor. I need to find the disk that came with it.
When I use Windows' ultities (ScanDisc) it says that the drive isn't formatted.
Maybe I should just back up all of its data (to my other PC's 120 GB HDD), and re-format it, then copy all the data back.

You can use PowerMax from

http://www.maxtor.com

downloads section to test the drive.

If it's under warranty and you're goint to return it you'll need the test results from that utility anyway.
