I have already read the MS article and tried chkdsk and bootfix. The
problem is that the recovery console can't usually find the windows
installation.
The weird part is it will boot in safe mode and if I install the
harddrive as a second drive in another computer chkdsk finds no problems
and the drive is completely readable.
Another thing of interest is that when I tried to copy the unmountable
boot volume with partition magic it always fails with an "unexpected OS
error" reading the goofy drive.
I had the same problem previously with this maxtor drive and this is the
warranty replacement. Is it possible that it is actually a drive
failure?
The last drive would never work completely correctly even after
formatting. The other odd part was that the Maxtor diagnostic test
returned no errors.
Anyone have a similar experience?
