Working with maxtor 6b160po hardrive. It came with cs enabled and I installed it that way with a maxtor ide 133 pci card. Worked but computer locked up a lot. Reinstalled xp and all software thinking software was problem. Now led to the hardrive as problem. Purchased an adaptec pci 133 card thinking that was problem. now looking at flat cable and see that copper wire was exposed and may have contacted computer case. Computer would show hardisk on bios and device manager but not xp

Moved hd to another computer as slave drive. Shows here on bios and device manager.

Is there any hope of recovering the data on this disk?
