Set up slave without formatting?
My friend needs some pixs from her hard drive. I set it up as a slave and it shows up as drive F: with my master as C. When I click on F it wants to reformat. How can I just read and save the info without reformatting?
The drive F: is saying that it is RAW it is IDE drive C is NTFS it is ATA Both hard drives have XP Is there any possibility of recovering the data? Last edited by Sabres042; 10-09-2007 at 12:58 PM. |

Was the drive in working condition when it came out of the friends computer? If not, then odds are it's toast.

As far as I know the HD was working fine. She was having a problem with Keyboard Controller chip. When turning on the computer - beep code indicated Keyboard. We then tried a usb keyboard instead of ps2 and it worked but when we restarted later even the usb ports wouldn't work and beeping started again. I think the is a motherboard issue. I would be happy to retrieve the data from her computer HP Pavillian a220n but I can't get past the beeping!
Any help is appreciated |
