Thats a really good idea, except I don't have that data backed up. Since I can't actually get windows to recognize the drive, I can't get the data backed up to another drive.
Here's what error message I got when I looked at the Event Viewer. I'm not sure what it means: The device, \Device\Harddisk1\DR3, has a bad block. It happened 6 times
It says that the drivers are fine. No conflicts or errors that I can see. I just tried updating the drivers, and windows told me that the drivers are up to date.
I did do an upgrade. But this drive was never associated with a windows install. Is there any to manually assign it a drive letter if I can't see it in computer management?
Hi there, So I've been searching through the threads and probably missed what amounts to an easy answer. I just reinstalled Windows 7 after upgrading my mobo, ram and cpu. As it stands my internal Maxtor 300gb hard drive, is showing up in the Bios. In fact it shows up in the Device Manager...
