Hi,
Long story short -- I tried capturing some video to my D: hard drive via
firewire and somehow corrupted it so I no longer have access. It's a
Seagate 200 gb drive that I use exclusively for data and my OS is Win2K Pro.
Some of the data is backed up, some is not, so reformatting is a last
resort.
I ran a Seagate file system check which gave me the following info:
Volume Label:
Volume Size: 0 bytes
The file system contains errors that need to be repaired.
None of the other Seagate diagnostics will work -- they just freeze up.
Via Windows I did My Computer > Manage > Storage > Disk Management, and the
disk drive shows up and says it's healthy and lists the available space
186.31 (although the file system column is blank). When I check the
properties through device manager, it says "this device is working
properly". Error checking the drive doesn't work -- the window just
disappears and nothing else happens. When I left-click D: through My
Computer, I'm told that the drive is not formatted and asked if I want to
format it now. When I right click and check the properties, there's no
volume label and everything comes up zero. I also tried Chkdsk D: and got
the message that the file format is RAW and that it's inaccessible.
I tried using Ghost to clone the drive, but the program doesn't see the D:
disk, only C: shows up.
If anybody has any suggestions for how I can get this working again, or at
the very least, recover the data, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you very
much.
