Got this 120GB Western Digital IDE hard drive from someone. It booted to Windows one week and the next time he fired it up, it wouldn't boot.
I ran the WD diagnostics on it and it passed the short test. When I booted into a BART PE CD, it couldn't see the C: drive.
When I took it home and attached it to a working XP machine, I can see the hard drive in Device Manager and Disk Managment. The whole droive shows as "Unallocated".
Is this a matter of recreating the MBR or is this time to send the drive out for recovery? I do own Partition Magic if this is of any help here.
