i'm trying to fix my dads computer, his harddrive is being retarded.

i can see it in the bios, and the device manager, but i can't see or use it in "my computer"

- Is the master/slave shim set properly?
- Is the drive formatted?

yes, yes.

I would guess that it's a problem with the drive, then. Either that, or there's a problem with some driver in Windows.

This isn't a new HD is it? You've been using it?

yah its an old hd with important shit on it, i dont know why it doesn't work, my dad bought a new hd, and then went to copy the old shit onto the new one, and it didn't show up. i'm not an idiot about this kinda stuff, but i have no fucking clue, except it might be broken.

I have an idea- and it could help.

Right click on My Computer, click on Manage, click on Disk Management, and make sure the hard driver is assigned a drive letter. Or change the drive letter (in case it coincides with your CD or DVD drive).

In fact, I'm quite sure this IS the problem since you have so many drive or "mounted" drives.

Good luck

Didn't even think of that. Good idea.

i would do that, but it doesn't work on my dads computer when it only has a hard drive and a cdrom. i've tried booting from the drive as well, nothing. >: (

don't tell your teachers, but back up your hard drive onto their email server

btw, BF2 jealousy

...known from a videotape the two made when they met in March... in Dresdens home, Dresden amputated Gabriels penis and Dresden and Gabriel ate the penis together...Gabriel had insisted that Dresden bite his penis off; this did not work.. Dresden used a knife. When that knife turned out to be too blunt, Dresden used a sharper knife to slice the penis off. Gabriel apparently tried to eat his share of his own penis..but could not because it was too..."chewy". Dresden then sautéed the penis in a pan with salt, pepper, and garlic.

first of all
go to the maxtor's site and download some support software (like seatools, for seagate drives)
