Hard Drive Repair Question Physical Problem with the drive
Maxtor 40 GB ide hard drive ata 133 3.5 N 40P. Spins, but I get no
OS. I took it out put it in another PC, will not show up as a second drive (I changed it to be the slave.) I also have a usb to ide adapter. The drive is recognized by xp pro and I can see it in the device manager, but I cannot see it in disk manager or windows explorer. I am sure it is probably hardware failure, but hoped someone might have some idea how to fix it. Drive spins and continues to spin. When I first put power to it I hear a momentary click or some physical movement inside the drive, but not after that. Thanks for any help. I know it may be a lost cause.
