Hard Drive Not Recognized
Hello all,
I have a Pentium 3 PC with an internal Seagate Barracuda hard drive. The first problem I encountered was the computer not booting up. I ran ERD Commander 2005 and it fixed that problem, however, now the computer does not recognize the hard drive (partitioned into two). The only thing that works is using ERD Commander 2005 to get to a DOS prompt; my internet connection no longer works either. Does anyone know of a software or process that can repair this issue? If I had my choice of which problem to encounter, I would choose the PC not botting up because the hard drive was recognizable then. If no one is able to assist this way, if you could please tell me how to google this problem (e.g., hard drive unrecognizable, etc.), as I think I have searched every which way, this would help greatly as well. Thank you in advance, Tammy |

Thank you in advance, Tammy ERD commander is a powerful utility and can recover data - at least so the web page says, I haven't tried it. Perhaps it can make the C: partition the active partition (assuming that is where your OS's bootstrap files reside). Failing that go to Seagate's website and download a hard drive checking utility to install onto a floppy. But ultimately, given a P3 era comp, what is most important to you? Get your computer into a working condition again? -or- Recover personal data on the bad (or screwed up) Seagate hard drive? John |
