Fried HDD
I have a HDD that is no good. I bought a new HDD and put that one in, than ran the bad one as a slave to it. The computer acknowledges the drive but you cannot view it under my computer or windows explorer. You can view it under disk management, but cannot do anything to it. So I decided to try the freezer trick to see if that would work. If that fails I suppose I'll have to switch out the circuit board of the HDD. Anyone know why it won't show up in windows explorer or my computer? Is it because the drive isn't spinning up?

What does disk management show it as? Unpartitioned space? Some other kind of partition? It's not going to show up in explorer till it has a recognizable partition and is assigned a drive letter in Disk Management.

It shows up as unknown, the only thing it will let you do is partition it. But I don't want to do that, since it would erase all my data on it.
