You saved me from paying out big bucks to purchase new external drive and have Geek Squad transfer files to new hard drive.

My iTunes backup and pictures are all accessible again. Got a new power cord and all is wonderful with life again. My green light was working but neither computer would recognize the drive. Does anyone have any clues?Īny info would be much appreciated. The light on the drive is on so I think the hardware is fine, but.I have no idea how this could have happened. Upon restarting, the PS3200 is now no longer visible anywhere-I went to add hardware, I've plugged and replugged everything, it's just not there. I then stopped backing up for awhile to attend to other stuff then had to restart the computer for a different reason. I copied about 7 GB worth of data (I'm backing up in advance of a drive reformat). VERY SORRY for the long post but I wanted to provide as much information as possible in order to have possible hope from you experts.Hello, So I installed my Maxtor PS 3200 external drive this afternoon without any problem-you basically just plug in the USB and XP recognizes instantly. The drive inside is a SEAGATE Barracuda 7200.10. Now, I’m totally lost so that’s why I’ll try my last hope in this forum to know from you guys if there is any chance of getting my data back and if there is no chance, How can I re-format this drive to make use of it at least.

My main machine is ABSOLUTELY free of any viruses or malware)

I really don’t know what to tell you guys but all I understood from the software that there is a corrupted zero sector and the drive is locked!! (I don’t even know that my drive supports security features so I don’t even have the idea about how it’s locked AND/OR how the zero sector went bad. This is the toughest experiment I’m getting and very sad for my lost DATA and money (it was expensive when I bought it)

That made me crazy because it was working fine 2 days ago and nothing new was added to my machine (software or hardware) in that period.Īfter a lot of trials with some data recovery software, no single software was able to see it because it was not seen in Windows and also it was not seen at all with "Hiren's boot CD) so I listened to a friend's advice to get the HDD from inside the plastic case and connect it as a slave and now Hiren's CD can detect the drive as well as the data recovery software installed on my XP BUT NOTHING AT ALL was able to deal with it. I felt so worried so I took it and tried it on my brother's Laptop which runs Vista and sill is not recognized. Last time I worked on it was just 2 days ago where I backed up my files normally and then disconnected power as normal and today when I connected power to throw some new files on it, It wasn't recognized by Windows at all. I bought a "Maxtor personal storage 3200" 18 months ago (It's a 320 GB HDD that has 2 separate cables for power & USB connection and I liked that design because I have the habit of disconnecting the power from it - after safely disconnecting it from XP of course - with an on/off switch so that it does not run uselessly and to extend its lifetime and to keep it away from any possible problems on my own machine.etc)
