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.

Nate

You are at Service Pak level 4, right?
You have enabled 48-bit LBA, right?

Yes to both.

As a final, possibly expensive solution, any of the hd recovery companies
would probably help.
eg ontrack
