(Windows Xp home sp3 btw)
I just recently tried to defrag my external hard drive (Fantom Drives Titanium II - 500GB) and Windows gave me these "Delayed write failed" errors. Ever since, the drive doesn't show up under my computer or even disk management. The drivers are still there, I tried uninstalling and plugging the drive in again. It popped up the remove hardware in the tray but still nothing shows up in my computer or disk management.
I tried removing it from its external enclosure and connecting it via SATA, Windows doesn't seem to want to start when it's connected, but it does show up in BIOS.
I'm not sure what else to try, did my drive just die? Anyway to save some of the data without paying several hundred dollars on a recovery service?
