Hard drive questions after upgrade?

[EXFFPM]

My Dell Dimension 8200/Windows XP (with SP2) would not boot up and the power button stayed yellow and would not turn my p.c. off, all the while making sounds like "pounding" in ther hard drive? Replaced the hard drive which did make the sound go away, but still no boot up. Local shop diagnosed and replaced power supply, removed the original HD that we thought was bad, reinstalled XP and all is well. Wanted to check the "broken" HD, so reinstalled it in slave position (checked jumpers) and it shows up in "My Computer" but under properties but only shows the secondary partition (unformatted). All my music and pictures were on the front of the disk.
Under "Properties" it says: "Partition style: Master Boot Record"
"Capacity: 76341" (80 gig Maxtor)
"Unallocated space: 44087"
"Volume E: Capacity 32254"
When I click on HD "E", it tells me to format now, but I am holding out hope that my data in the front partition is still intact and am not sure if I format the second partition that it won't erase the entire drive? Am I being hopelessly optomistic? How do I access the drive?

Check your jumpers again, it sounds like you have the cylinder limitation jumper set.

The "File System" for the new hard drive says "NTFS", for the supposedly "damaged" HD the file system says "Raw"?

Check the jumpers again. If the cylinder limitation jumper is set, it will appear as a 32gb drive to the bios and everything will be screwed up.

I have just written two identical very lengthy replys which did not post. The file system on the "damaged" HD (80 GB Maxtor) is blank or listed as "Raw". The File system on the new HD (WD 250 GB) "Disk 0" is "NTFS". I have all the documentation on the jumper placement from WD, Maxtor and Dell and it all instructs me to set them at "Cable Select", which I am absolutely assured they are! The "Disk Management" recognizes the full capacity of both HDs in the space to the left of the partitions. My apologies for the breach of forum protocol....but I am almost positive the jumper placement is definitely correct!
Thank you! Phil
