I am in desperate need.
I have tried searching for an issue related to hard drives showing up as 128.00 GB but have not found any topics.
I currently have a: Maxtor MaXLine III 7L300S0 300GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA150. I have updated computers but when I plug my hard drive in... and when I click on <Manage> it shows up as a 128.00 GB drive with 154.47 GB Unallocated.
When I try to access my hard drive, it just wants me to format it:
I am running SP2 with an ASUS P5VD2-X board: both of which support 48 bit LBA's. It was suggested to me that my new BIOS has different geometry translation and will not be able to read the hard drive. Is there any truth to this?
I have tried downloading a program called "Recover My Files" - which IS able to see the data, but when it copies the files over... most of everything is ... incomplete? For example, if its an audio file- I can only get HALF of the files to play properly.
Is there any other ways of repairing this drive without losing the data? Lunch is SO on me if anyone can figure out how :S
