    Scared that I lost 1TB of irreplacable data

    Those folders encompass very few GB. Maybe 20-40 at most (not home right now so I can't check.) The 1TB drive was practically full with maybe 50 GB free. I never attempted to recover anything. This was all done automatically by the windows error checking tool. Right now I am using EaseUS to...

    Scared that I lost 1TB of irreplacable data

    Yea...I'm not going to pay the fees to have a service recover the data for me. For now I need to figure out the best method to do it myself. There are a few more hours to go for the scan to complete so hopefully I'll be able to recover. I have not used or written anything to the disk since this...

    Scared that I lost 1TB of irreplacable data

    I had a hard drive that I had not used for a few months. It is a Western Digital 1TB Black drive. This past week I plugged it back into my dock and it had been working fine. Last night, purely out of some weird curiosity of "hey lets try this" I used the Windows "Error Checking" tool. In...

    Is this a good DVD Burner?

    I'm looking for a new burner, I think mine is nearing the end of its life. Is this a good burner: The Asus DRW-2014L1T. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135156 I just want to get a good one. I usually buy liteon due to the price, but they're all cheap these days and...

    New hard drive shows up in bios but not device manager

    **PROBLEM FIXED** Okay so I tried everything suggested here. I even tried out a Linux Live CD. Anyways everything OUTSIDE of windows detected the hard drive just fine. So I made the assumption that this must be an OS issue. I checked services, to see if plug and play was somehow tampered...

    New hard drive shows up in bios but not device manager

    yea I have xp sp2 installed. I don't really know if that should be a problem though since my primary hd is 320 gb?

    New hard drive shows up in bios but not device manager

    I have my primary HD connected to the SATA1 connector which i believe is one of the three ICH7 ports. I've tried this new hd on both SATA3 and SATA4 which are the other two ports, but I still haven't had any luck. What's weirder to me now is that I just made a bootable seatools disc and ran...

    New hard drive shows up in bios but not device manager

    The drive I got is OEM so no cds or anything else came with it.

    New hard drive shows up in bios but not device manager

    Oh and also...the question now is whether or not to get a replacement or just to get a refund. I really want a 1TB drive and my choices were either this drive or a WD. Any ideas on whether I should even risk getting another of the same model or if I should just ditch it and get the WD drive...

    New hard drive shows up in bios but not device manager

    Yea I want to try it in another machine but this is my only system with SATA. I'd have to call up my friend to test it out...but even then if it did work in his system it still wouldnt fix my problem. I'll probably just go ahead and RMA it, thanks for the help.

    New hard drive shows up in bios but not device manager

    Well I updated the bios and it's still the same. I guess it's fair to say that this drive is DOA? I gotta say I'm a little pissed, this is just bad QC on Seagates part. I also noticed that when I look at the drive info in the bios, under "size" there is something strange like...

    New hard drive shows up in bios but not device manager

    Yea the other drive is also a SATA drive. It's also a Seagate and has worked flawlessly.

    New hard drive shows up in bios but not device manager

    Yea that's what I feared too. I've already tried switching ports, and I'll try a new cable today. Could this be a Bios issue or no? I figured that since the drive shows up in the bios, that I don't need to update it, but it is pretty old. I didn't really want to change the bios since everything...

    New hard drive shows up in bios but not device manager

    I just picked up a second HD. It's the Seagate SATA 1TB ST31000340AS. Well I connected it, and it shows up in the bios with the correct model number and everything, but the drive is missing in the Device Manager, and it doesn't show up under Disk Management. I've tried partition magic too...
