Into The =PiT=

Wonder if anybody can help .

I have Three Hard Drives in my comp , one windows is installed on and two other
Hard drives where i store movies , the two additional Hard Drives are no longer showing up .

not sure if my kids have deleted em , anyway to restore them ? my system restore doesnt work btw .

cheers'

try loading your bios and seeing if they register in your hardware section if not u may have issues with the sata cable and/or power probs. i think it too big a coincidence for them both to disappear!

made a mistake been so long since i put it in , it is one drive partitioned .

Changed cords etc , says Hard drive recognized , hitashi ATA Device .

Think it may have died .

I had a few hitachi's die on me. Had some laptop size ones last through some incredible abuse though... I think one of us, booGz maybe is into data recovery, he might have some more info for ya.

Theres no icons in Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management > Disk Management

and i cant do a system restore so i may have a virus thats the cause , reformat time .

Do they show in BIOS setup like JT said?

Yer showed up in bios , and in device manager , but not under ' my computer'

Anything show up under Control Panel>Admin tools>Computer management>Storage>Disk Management

na " Admin tools folder is empty " , no icons at all , was icons in there two days ago , also i have another CD DRIVE (L.) which has appeared and i only have one CD Drive (DvD)

Weird

Classic symptoms of a Russian gay porn site virus.

Sounds like format time to me too.

lol no , got the drive to show up , seems to be wiped tho , will get some data recovery software c how it go's ...

Crikey need to retrieve my QL config .

Must of been a HDD Virus , wiped my HD clean
