Hard drive problem

[Bucky Badger]

I have a 120 gig MAXTOR full of data, in a usb case. I plug it into my laptop or tower and it doesn't show up in my computer. I took it out of the case ane hooked it to the IDE as slave and doesn't show up in my computer. I go to device manager and look under disk drives and all 3 hdd show up? This is really pissing me off.

Did you try enabling it through your Logical disk manager?

Right-click and enable in the "Logical Disk Manager" if listed in there.

It is enabled. I can feel the drive spinning, when the power is on.

A friend of mine told me my fat table could be messed up

google for maxblast the maxtor tool, or grab a copy of ultimate boot disk. see if that finds the drive, if it does, run the tests on it, it should fix any table issues

What OS?

Do you have Tweakui installed.
