I have a Maxtor 120Gb drive that's been fine for some
time. However, when restarting from a Power failure it now
shows as having 0 bytes and a filesystem as RAW. When
trying to access it I get told the parameters are
incorrect, also a second drive that does not physically
exist also appears in My computer (also showing 0 bytes
and File system RAW) this second drive does not show in
Device manager, but my Maxtor does.
Troubleshooter says the drive is fine and working
properly. I've tried it on my second computer with
identical results and also showing this second phantom
drive. Obviously I don't want o have to reformat this
drive (it's not my Primary drive, but there's a lot of
business info and family movies, plus ironically the back-
up files for my primary drive).
I haven't a clue what to do, the troubleshooter
walkthrough didn't help, the drivers are upto date, the
drive was working fine. I've checked physical connections
on both computers, and they are fine.
So can anyone tell me what's happened please?
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
